Thanks for everyone's input, there were two main problems
I installed wamp into a folder which was nested in a folder who's name had a space in so c:/folder/folder with a space/wamp/
which i have since been told is bad practice, if anyone knows why please tell.
The were issues with the internet protocol, namely ipv6
, so solve this you need to ensure wamp only uses ipv4
, inside httpd.conf
find Listen 80
and change to Listen 0.0.0.0:80
. Again i'm not sure what this does so if anyone knows please post below.
I hope this helps anyone else stuck.
