Ok, let's check a few things. First, if you don't see the green WampServer icon in the bottom right part of your screen in the system tray, you can click on the start button and type 'services.msc' in the search box (or, alternatively,
you can select 'Run' and then type in 'services.msc'. In the resulting box, scroll down until you see an entry titled 'wampapache'. Look at the status (third column over). It should say 'started'. If not, then the WampServer did not start properly.
Next, double-check the 'httpd.conf' file by double-clicking it in the 'c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf' folder (I use Notepad to open it up). Almost exactly half-way
down the long list of entries should be a section that looks like this (the important part is the part that I have bolded). That entry SHOULD be there. If it's not, you'll need to enter it.
Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
below.
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
#
Allow from 127.0.0.1 # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
Next, make sure that when the program calls for data that it doesn't go looking for the old servers. That is done in the 'hosts' file that is located in the 'c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts'
folder. Open the Notepad application from the Start menu by right-clicking on the Notepad icon and then selecting ‘Run as administrator’. You may have to select 'All Files (*.*) in the lower
right of Notepad in order to see all the files). Once the file is open, make sure the following three lines are in there:
127.0.0.1 server1.netinfostation.com
127.0.0.1 server2.netinfostation.com
127.0.0.1 server3.netinfostation.com
Lastly, make sure your API Key is entered correctly. You can open it by going to 'c:\wamp\www'
and then double-clicking the file called 'getweather.php' and again using Notepad as the editor. The very first two lines should look like this (with your particular key instead of the sample one below) paying particular attention to the single quotes at
either end of the key:
<?php
$api_key = '75c7015a503esample0158a4f338ef3';
If you end up making any changes to anything mentioned here, reboot when done, and then say a prayer. :) Hopefully it will now be working and receiving data.
