Hi all
I wanted to install WordPress locally on my machine and I was following the instructions in U tube video provided by LearnWebCode entitled How to Install WordPress (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snFzbPm_RUE&list=PLpcSpRrAaOaqMA4RdhSnnNcaqOVpX7qi5&index=3&t=0s)
I got to 8mins and 8s of this 11mins 36 secs video and then hit a problem. I had downloaded all the WAMP files and WordPress ZIP folder and I got as far as moving the WordPress Folder into my C:/ wamp64/www folder.
In my system tray I have the WAMP Icon showing green and saying all services running.
However, when I try to execute the next step in the video which says to navigate to the folder we moved the WordPress folder to using your web browser and typing in 'localhost'. This should then display the index of what is in the folder. No matter what I type in (I've tried localhost, localhost/, localhost:80 - humbly admitting I am not sure why - just following the video). I do not get what is shown in the video, I get web searches instead. Would be very grateful for some advice on how to continue.
Thank you
