Annoying error in firefox with php/sql application

Amaru

I've developed a php/mysql database tool to be used on several pcs in an office, and everything was going fine until i tried to install it on the last pc. The first 2 installations went fine, and worked perfectly through Firefox, but when i went to run http://localhost/phpmyadmin on the last pc, Mozilla turned this back out at me

[SIZE=+2]Browser Error[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]Your Browser sent a malformed request. You may need to configure your browser to use proxies, or you may need to change the port that your webserver is using. [/SIZE]

Any ideas whats going on here? Bear in mind its worked perfectly on 2 other pcs, plus the pc i developed it on, which were all running the same os(xp) and which all ran the wamp application(in this case "wamp") perfectly. The error is most definitely with my browser, because the wamp is running fine, plus it didn't work in IE either. Little help?

Hmmm, so that error is generated from mozilla and not from PHP?
Have you tried using something like http://127.0.0.1:80/phpmyadmin instead?
A shot in the dark, but you never know
Any luck with IE on that machine?

Do you have one server with multiple client machines or does each machine run it's own php+MySQL+webserver?

If the former and your server is actually identifying itself on the network as localhost, you'd better give it a different name - localhost is a special name normally used to loop back to the local machine itself (127.0.0.1). If the problem machine has a hosts file with a 127.0.0.1 localhost entry and the other machines do not, that could be your issue.

No its the former. Each machine is running its own wamp server. There's only local commands to be performed, no remote ones.
