WAMP: Missing http://localhost/ in urls , wrong wamp projects links

Question

I have a problem with Wamp which never happened to me before, cannot find what's wrong. I have a few projects located in my www folder ( running windows 7 ).

My hostfile has the line 127.0.0.1 localhost uncommented

When I go to http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ and click on a project name like "mysite" from the main Wamp panel page, the link just points to "mysite" and not "http://localhost/mysite"

Therefore I can't see any sites, what should I do ?

Answer 1

For the latest versions on Wamp, the file has changed the code as follows:

$suppress_localhost = ($wampConf['urlAddLocalhost'] == 'off' ? true : false);

So it is now configurable from the Wamp Aestan Tray menu.

For Wampserver 3.0.6, I was able to do this by the following:

1. Right click on wamp icon on tray on the right.
2. Go to "wamp settings"
3. Enable "Add localhost in URL"

If you see the green tick mark, it is enabled. Now refresh your localhost home page and check URLs.

Answer 2

In WAMPSERVER 3.1.x

Open wamp/www/index.php

Go to line number 33

Change this line:

$suppress_localhost = ($wampConf['urlAddLocalhost'] == 'off' ? true : false);

To:

$suppress_localhost = ($wampConf['urlAddLocalhost'] == 'on' ? true : false);

Save and close the file.

OR

Right click on system tray Wampserver icon and hover on,

Click Wamp Settings option

After that choose this: Add localhost in url
