I am a brand new XOOPS user. Actually, I've not installed XOOPS yet but struggling to get mySQL, php and Apache installed using WAMP5.

1) When attempting to set up WAMP5 I get the following message when clicking on "Local Host" in the WAMP5 menu in the system tray icon: "HTTP 404 Not Found - The webpage cannot be found".

During set-up I followed the instruction and used "local host" instead of the ISP. I didn't think I needed anything else because I'm only setting up a development server on my own desktop computer.

2) I've created a new folder called "xoops" instide the "WWW" folder in the "c:\wamp" folder.

3) When I try to click on "local host" to see a project called "xoops", I get the same message as in item 1) above.

4)The next step in setting up WAMP5 is to create a database. When clicking on the "PHP my admin" in the WAMP5 menu I get the same result as in 1) and 3) above.

What have I done wrong? How can I change settings to "get back on track" and finish setting up WAMP5 before I start installing Xoops?

Any quick help will be greatly appreciated.

you'd be best of going over to http://www.wampserver.com for help with setting wamp up correctly.

You will find instructions for installing wamp5 and xoops here at the documentation website. Hope it helps! If not you will need to do as Monty says.
