Configuring localhost windows

[wa7zxc]

Hello, I am trying to reconfigure the localhost command on a Win 7 Pro PC.m Currently, the locahost command gives bad web site command. This is part of my overall efforts to install Joomla locally on my PC, and the installation routine needs the locahost to be working. How can this be fixed? Thx ---Richard

you need to edit the HOSTS file in %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\
