Solution

  • WAMP is trying to open your browser, but the directory in the settings is not correct. It could be that your browser is now located somewhere else. To fix this:

    1. Edit the file wampmanager.conf inside your wamp direcotry.
    2. Replace the full file path under the [main] section for the navigator parameter
    3. Save the file
    4. Right-click on the wamp icon and select refresh
    5. Try it now

    Good luck!
