Installation question (1 reply)

I am trying to be absolutely certain that I have installed my local site correctly in a virtual host, since this appears to be so important. I initially set up the site using the sticky "Wampserver 3 Create a Virtual Host, the easy way". I have also read through the sticky "The Need for Virtual Hosts", and worked my way through it, checking all the files that the sticky says should be edited. Everything appears to be working correctly, except for 2 things.

1) At the bottom of the WampServer Homepage, there is a heading "Your Projects", with the option "sitefolder" below it. When I click on the link I get the message "This site can't be reached. Sitefolder's server IP address could not be found."

2) Under the heading "Your Virtual Host", there are two items - localhost and sitename. When I click on "sitename", a page opens with the heading "Index of/" and a link to the wordpress folder. When I click on that link, a page opens with the address "sitename/wordpress/. This page has the website header and top menu, but no actual page - just the error message "Error 404-Page NOT found". When I click on the "home" link in the top menu, the web site then opens correctly. The address of the website home page is "localhost/sitefolder/wordpress/".

Can some kind person tell me if these two issues indicate that I have done something incorrectly, and what I need to do to fix them?
