Cannot open localhost

[bettina]

In my old computer everything worked ok! I set the system (windows XP
like in the old computer) to my new computer but cannot open the
localhost. I have made everything exactly as before. I installed wampp2
as indicated just exactly as I did it before. Mysql is running, Apache
is running, but when I write in browser http:\\localhost should come
the site from phpMyAdmin like before but it doesn't. What do I wrong?

Backslashes "\\" from windows vs. slashes "//" for the web.

What happens if you use http://localhost/

And don't forget about \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

Here must be record like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
