Problems with localhost - when I type /admin to a localhost website I get Google results
So my problem has to do with localhost and it only started happening this morning. I use Wampserver to develop websites that have an admin area with a CMS.
I start wampserver, go to localhost in Firefox which works, select a website and it loads.
So right now I have http://localhost/website (although it only shows localhost/website - without http://).
When I type in /admin to reach the CMS it gives me search result from Google for localhost/website/admin
Maybe the missing http:// is creating the problem but I can;t type it in cause it's automatically removed.So my problem has to do with localhost and it only started happening this morning. I use Wampserver to develop websites that have an admin area with a CMS.

Had to resort to putting my local server online and using my own IP to reach it. Can you please tell me what i need to do to make localhost work again. Thanks

For me, I noticed that it was because of spaces in file names.
For example, I was doing a tutorial where I downloaded exercise files, and the URL path was "localhost/course/exercise [SPACE] files/2-08/demo.htm
I changed it to have no space and it works fine now in Firefox. I caught this because I could go from localhost and work my way down the directories, and if I copied and pasted from another browser it would convert the space to "%20" which is HTML encoding for a space character.
I hope this solves some problems!
