…just worked it out…I was using permalinks in WordPress and so needed the mod_rewrite script in place.

Hi-ya,

I have tried this with a wordpress implementation and it works for the homepage but I get 404 page error for any sub-level pages.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Vicky.

Just take from “File” menu “Open” and open the hosts file from “C:” -> “WINDOWS” -> “System32″ -> “drivers” -> “etc”

And do all the same as in Windows XP instructions.

And what to do next on Windows 7 after I have opened the Notepad as administrator?
