If you plan on using WAMPor any LAMP on Wins7

Watch your host file

[henry0]

I now use eclipse (Thanks to coopster!) with my local LAMP install
and since I will get Windows7 I was concerned with compatibility possible problems, and made some researches.
So if you are using WAMP or any other out of the box or self home-LAMP-install be aware of:
By default on Wins7 the host file has localhost commented
# 127.0.0.1 localhost, so change it to:
127.0.0.1 localhost
The path to host file in Wins is: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

For some reason I thought all Windows host files have localhost commented, didn't realize that was not the case! I found this KB article from MS:
[support.microsoft.com...]

Thanks for the heads up henry0.
