Have installed the latest wamp from e-novations on my local machine. Did a fresh install of zc 1.3.7.1, then copied all server (live) files to the new local install - minus the configuration files.

Then imported a backup of the live database.

The cart shows up perfectly - just like on the live site (which is working a treat). Obviously the local cart can access the db without problems.

When I type http://localhost/zencart/admin/ into various browsers I get this:




Internet Explorer

http://localhost/zencart/admin/

only shows Cannot find server or DNS Error - The page cannot be displayed



Firefox

http://localhost/zencart/admin/login.php

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.



Netscape

http://localhost/zencart/admin/login.php

produces a blank page



A check in phpMyAdmin shows local db tables identical to the live ones, encoding etc etc.

Emptied the cache(s) and cleared cookies on all 3 browsers - same stuff keeps happening.

Checked the forum for this issue - to no avail.

What could be wrong?

Thanks / Frank
