Firefox can't connect to localhost

more options

Actually none of the browsers can connect to localhost. I do get the message: Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost. I am using WAMPSERVER 3.0.4 Apache 2.4.18 PHP 5.6.19 MySQL 5.7.11 What is wrong? How do I fix it?

Nobody responded to your question there?

Could you try the technique in these articles (they are very similar) to check what port Apache is listening on:

Hello,

     I ended up downloading CurrPorts to tell me what was using Port 80.

Why would httd.exe be using the port 2 times to listen?

Hi Chuckm97, questions about why WAMP does what it does or doesn't work are best directed to the forum I linked to earlier.

And how do I know that the problem might be Firefox and not WAMP

I guess you don't know for sure, but since you started from having none of your browsers connect, it seems like a server problem.
