Magento Bug - Illegal scheme supplied, only alphanumeric characters are permitted

Question

I have installed magento-1.6.1.0 on my wamp local server. And I am getting this error after installation

Illegal scheme supplied, only alphanumeric characters are permitted

How to overcome this problem??

Answer 1

have your base url with full URI Schema : http://your.url or https://your.url and note that you cant use http://localhost as cookies wont work so name your host something else like local.host or whatever suits you best
