Zend server troubles... Cannot connect - apache

I'm encountering troubles with WAMP so I'm giving Zend a try... I need some help getting it working though. I have Zend and Apache running... the guide says to place my files in the htdocs folder in Apache. I have my index.html in that folder and my port, in the Zend settings, is 10088. When I go to localhost:10088/index.html my browser (Chrome) cannot connect to it. What is the deal?
EDIT: Tried changing host name from 127.0.0.1 to localhost... no change.

apache not serving index.html unless specified

Im new to setting up apache - the site works fine on localhost but when I access it from the LAN it does now display the index.html file - instead the browser says:
This site can’t be reached
localhost refused to connect.
Ive tried editing the apache2.conf file but nothing seems to work
I think you made another mistake. When you are on a different Computer on you network, the Apache server is not available on http://localhost/ but on the domain name or IP of the Apache Server.
The browser tries to open a connection to your client computer. But its not on localhost.

Unable to connect to localhost Apache Ubuntu

I run xampp (apache) on Ubuntu 12.04. I've got localhost declared as ServerName localhost in httpd.conf. So far, I've not experienced problems with this but now, the browser Firefox is unable to connect to localhost. What could the problem be? Thanks.
OK. Found the answer and responding to myself in case it could be of interest to others; Actually, Apache server was not running. When I started xampp, it said Apache is already running but in fact wasn't due to the fact that the file logs/http.pid was corrupt. I deleted this file and then restarted xampp. This time it did launch the apache server and everything is fine.

WAMP localhost and phpmyadmin setup

I have inherited a WAMP setup, but needed my http://localhost to point to a different directory "C:/Users/[user.name]/htdocs" due to many dependencies.
I made the following changes in httpd.conf
DocumentRoot "C:/Users/[user.name]/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/Users/[user.name]/htdocs">
where the original path was "c:/wamp/www/"
Now the WAMP default path for phpMyAdmin http://localhost/phpMyAdmin is not working anymore.
Is it possible to fix that via either C:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf or httpd-vhosts.conf somehow?
Can I suggest a better solution to your requirement to have a site running that does not live in the WAMPServer default location i.e. \wamp\www or \wamp\www\somefolder
If you revert all your httpd.conf changes to the out of the box state and then create a Virtual Host to run the site you have located in your \user.... folder.
Virtual Hosts are a standard Apache feature that allows you to run may sites from a single instance of Apache, a bit like a shared hosting package setup.
You would then have the benefits of the WAMPServer homepage running on localhost and all the other alias's tools as well.
You can then run your site using a nice url for example sitename.dev and the virtual host definition also allows you to setup any site specific requirements without effecting any other site you may want to run.
There is a HowTo Setup Virtual Hosts here on SO

Https and http not working together on MAMP Pro

I created a host on Mamp pro using their GUI app which is called "site1". If I go to https://site1/, it is working fine. If I go to http://site1, then it loads the root of http://localhost.
Based on GUI,
http//localhost's document root is applications/mamp/htodocs/
http//localhost's document root is applications/mamp/htodocs/site1/
If I disable https, then the http site works correctly. I need the both protocol for the site. How could I fix that? Any help? I am also unable to recognize the correct httpd.conf files which are associated with these hostnames.
On the GUI management window, I just added the following code into the additional virtual host parameters and both http and https started working fine together.
ServerName site1
DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/site1"
It would still be good to know where and how MAMP is creating the conf files.

Setting up Programm-o locally

After reading the installation guide for program-o http://blog.program-o.com/documentation-v2/installation/ I was wondering how I would go about doing step 2 locally and installing it without hosting an online server?
Just put your code in htdocs directory (inside xampp instalation directory).
Then You will be able to execute your code by typing 'localhost' in your browser.
Or if you want to use other domain instead of localhost, You have to edit your hosts file.
In Windows7 hosts file is located in:
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
My hosts file for example:
127.0.0.1 domain.com
I can access my code by typing for example 'domain.com' instead of 'localhost'
