Hi guys,

I got WAMP going on my computer and i want to be able to view pages that have custom URLs.

For example, i want to be able to view the About page using a custom URL like

Quote:http://localhost/cohenl/about

But i can't do that, how do i do it?
take out the index thats inside the www wamp folder

You are feeding wrong information.

@Author: You can do that with htaccess. Look it up, there are tons of examples Wink
I have tried htaccess but it doesn't work with the code i have put in..

I am using Wordpress by the way, if that helps at all.

by default wamp comes with a index inside the www, like myself i removed it
then i edited the virtual hosts and added all domains pointing to different folders inside the wamp folder without the index inside it.

Almost installed, so i might end up using xampp if it works for me and does what i want it to do.
