This is for a friend of mine. When he installed WAMP server, it installed perfectly. And then when he goes to http://localhost there is only 1 message that is displayed in the browser which is

It Works!

It does not display the WAMP homepage at all ! He has also reintalled WAMP server like a bazillion times, but with no success, it always gives him that It works! message. Has anybody else here encountered the same situation? And it is not the Port 80 problem, i checked. Please reply soon as he is not able to do his project at home because of this.

Sounds to me like it works.

That is Apache's default message after a successful install. It is usually a single HTML file in the htdocs folder.

What are you expecting to see?

So far, I don't see this as a problem.
