Alternate location (documents>sites>testsites) not working.

Works fine with the index.php file in htdocs, but the new enviroment in the final step just shows up as "this page isnt working".

Hey Matt

It is likely that you have selected a OneDrive version of your documents folder ie. not locally. Make sure you save your index.php file on C:\Users\USER\Documents\sites\testsite. Then make your WAMP Web Server document root matches the same path.

Windows defaults to displaying your OneDrive documents folder in the cloud, if you have OneDrive installed.
