Can't set up the environment with WAMP localhost

I installed WEBDEV 14 on my WINDOWS 7 machine. I also installed the WAMP SERVER suite so that I could use the machine as my test server. The funny thing is that I have not yet been able to get WEBDEV to recognize the localhost when I try to set the path to C:\WAMP\WWW and put my development folders there. it appears that any site I am trying to create and test from this location with the HTTP://localhost/<site>/index.php is not recognized.

I have asked twice of PCSoft and they have referred me to a tutorial that I cannot find that will lead we thru setting up the environment and WEBDEV correctly.

Any help on this matter would be most appreciated.

Thank you
Vincent Crosby

I experienced the same difficulty some time ago. In fact you can get the response in the help. But to save you time, this is what I did-.

Configuring the server for the CGI protocol


To configure the Web server:



1. Edit the "httpd.conf" file in a text editor.
This file is found in the "/Conf" sub-directory of the setup directory of the Apache server.

2. Add the definition of the alias for the CGI protocol (WD140AWP.EXE) to the "httpd.conf" file via the following code line:


ScriptAlias /<Alias>/ "Engine Directory"
<Directory "Engine Directory">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>


Example: Development computer: the engine is found in "C:\WEBDEV\PROGRAMS\ENGINE\WINDOWS\AWP" and the name of the alias is WD140AWP:


ScriptAlias /WD140AWP/ "C:/WEBDEV/PROGRAMS/ENGINE/WINDOWS/AWP/"
<Directory "C:/WEBDEV/PROGRAMS/ENGINE/WINDOWS/AWP/">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

If it is not OK just type apache in the index search.
