I'm an old dog (75) not very good at learning new tricks. I still use Coral_8_0_0 to create my WAMP server and am comfortable with it, so please don't tell me to upgrade to 13_3_2_ZeroXIII. I have tried that and haven't yet worked out how to have several websites in the vhosts folder and get to them via the localhost. I promise that I will sort that out - but, meanwhile, I have another more pressing problem: I am running Windows 10 on a desktop computer, and I have Apache running as a service and I can : 1. Stop it when I like and restart it when I want; 2. Maintain 13 websites in the vhosts folder; 3. Look at each site via the localhost. A few weeks ago the Windows 10 OS was upgraded for April 2018 to version 1803, and my setup stopped working : 1. I could not stop or start apache either as a service or as a programme; 2. I could not look at my local sites via localhost. This was really annoying as I update most of these sites on a daily/weekly basis. Also Dreamweaver did not work properly as it could not access the local site. I uninstalled the version 1803 upgrade and - magic - Apache and Dreamweaver and the localhost worked perfectly again. HOW CAN I OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM ? I sync everything to my laptop which also has windows 10 (not yet upgraded) where everything works as I like. Today - the 1803 upgrade arrived and I installed it to see what would happen. Alas - Apache and localhost stopped (like on the desktop machine) so I uninstalled the upgrade and everything reverted back to normal. I would like to solve this problem before I get stuck into sorting out the latest version of WAMP. Any help will be gladly received. Thanks in advance.
