Project Links do not work on Wamp Server!!!
In WampServer it is now recommended to create a Virtual Host for each of your projects, even if you hold them in a \wamp\www\subfolder structure. The WampServer home page ( \wamp\www\index.php ) now expects you to have created a Virtual Host for all your projects and will therefore work properly only if you do so.
How to create a Virtual Host in WampServer
There are 3 steps to create your first Virtual Host in Apache, and only 2 if you already have one defined.
-Create the Virtual Host definition(s)
-Add your new domain name to the HOSTS file.
-Restart the Apache service
Step 1, Create the Virtual Host definition(s)
Edit the file called httpd-hosts.conf which for WampServer lives in
\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
I am assuming we want to create a definition for a site called project1 that lives in
\wamp\www\project1
Now we define our project: and this of course you do for each of your projects as you start a new one.
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/project1" ServerName project1 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require local
Step 2:
Add your new domain name to the HOSTS file.
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
The hosts file should look like this when you have completed these edits
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 project1 ::1 localhost ::1 project1
Now we must tell windows to refresh its domain name cache, so launch a command window using the Run as Administrator menu option, and do the following.
net stop dnscache net start dnscache
Step 3:
To activate this change in you running Apache we must now stop and restart the Apache service.
wampmanager.exe -> Apache -> Service -> Restart Service
