I ran into one package that refused to accept a one word domain, I forget which package it is. It is best to setup using two word domains such as http://giant.local/ which helps with the standardization of URL.

I use wampserver and i'll occasionally have trouble because I use one word domains, like 'http://giant'. that gets confused with search terms.

I'd recommend adding
echo $_GET['q']; exit;
in index.php to see the address that the code is looking at and see if that matches what you're expecting. Sounds like there might be a problem in the .htaccess conversion.

Sounds like a Apache configuration or htaccess problem. Have you tried accessing a static file, like CHANGELOG.txt or something in the files directory?

FYI - I used WAMPSERVER for years and always had little problems similar to this. I dumped it and went to EasyPHP last year and haven't looked back, although I've been moving more and more to vagrant for the bigger client sites.

Sunday night I was able to log in to my local version of a web site with Chrome, IE, FF, and Safari. Then I had to reboot. Now I cannot get to that site with Chrome, IE, or Safari. I use Wampserver. I can get to other local sites just fine, and I can access this one site with FF with no trouble. The error I'm getting is 403. Any ideas?
