WAMPSERVER: 404 Not Found

  • I downloaded and installed WordPress 3.6 and WAMPServer to set up and test a website on my local computer (Windows 8) before uploading the local site to a hosting site. This site is to sell a product and I created an order form in Visual Forms Builder and created a page on the site to include the form.

    When I go to localhost/wp-admin, the site comes up and there is a tab at the top of the page that users can click on to bring up the order form. However, when I click on the tab, a page comes up with the heading “Not Found” and the following message below it:

    The requested URL /order-albans-oil/ was not found on this server.

    Is there something I need to change or some setting that I need to either start or stop in WAMPServer to successfully get the page containing the order form to load? If I need to provide more information, please let me know.

  • This is just a flat out guess on my part, but you might check the permalinks options. If you’ve altered the default permalink structure in the WordPress dashboard, and mod_rewrite hasn’t been enabled in WampServer, you may see some 404’s. If you haven’t already done this, these are some fairly generic instructions for mod_rewrite on WampServer, but I think they’re probably still accurate;

    Click on the green WampServer icon in the system tray, select Apache > Apache modules > then scroll down the module list until you come to “rewrite_module”, and place a check mark next to it. WampServer might do a graceful restart for you, or you may need to restart apache for the changes to take effect. Not at all sure if that’s the issue, but that might be the first thing to check.
