....which means you have to set up apache's configuration file. I get
the idea that the OP has installed WAMP but hasn't configured apache,
or maybe hasn't set up the hosts file, or maybe both.

Peter: Have you edited apache's configuration file "httpd.conf"?
There's a menu item for that, left-click the WAMP taskbar icon, select
Apache, select httpd.conf; unless you at least modify the DocumentRoot
specification, it'll never find your localhost's root document
directory.

For apache-specific stuff (like configuration details), you probably
ought to go to alt.apache.configuration
