title: WAMP does not open my project
body: <p>I am completely new to web-dev and wamp, I have to use it for a college project to build a website using php. I installed the newest version of wamp. I cloned my project repository into the www folder.</p>
  
  <p>When I run "localhost" in the browser, I get the generic wamp page and I can see my project folder  on the bottom of the page under the "Projects" heading</p>
  
  <p>when I click on the project it does not open and I get a 404 not found error. This is not the same issue a thousands other people have written about, where when they uses the path "localhost/projectname" they get access to their project but when they just click their project the path is "projectname" and they dont see their project. I have read tons of posts with people that have that problem and I do not think I have the same issue becase when I click on my project link on the wamp hompage, I get the complete path "<a href="http://localhost/PaperCloudBackend/" rel="nofollow">http://localhost/PaperCloudBackend/</a>" and this shows a 404  error</p>
  
  <p>Keep in mind that all I have done with wamp so far is:
  1) install it
  2) clone repo into www folder
  3) opened browser with localhost
  4) clicked on my project name</p>
  
  <p>I would really like a concise answer to why this is happening so I can learn the root cause, and also a solution to the problem because i have not contributed to my team codebase at all and I have not been able to solve this issue after 1 week.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
