PHP Installation Got 404 error

I have successfully installed WAMP server in my local machine.

Excited to test the installation when I hit http://localhost , I was disappointed to get a big fat 404 Error page !!

Too bad !! What went wrong.

Google it out.. to my surprise.. The culprit was "Skype" (yes, the voip messenger).

Actually Skype by default uses port number 80.

So, it was running previously in my machine, thats why when I tried to open the default testing page for WAMP server, (which also runs in its default port no. 80) I got the 404 error page.

404 means, server is running, but couldnt listen you.

So, I quit skype and restarted WAMP server.

Hurray !!

I got a decent welcome (configuration) page as below:
