I had problems getting local host to come up on port 1300 so I had to change the port on Apache back to 80. (Then I had to figure out what service was using that port and disable it)....Finally I got Apache running on port 80 (Praise God)

Alright, I have made progress. It seemed there was a permissions problem and I had to make an edit to the Apache config file.
Basically I replaced this
Code:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
To this
Code:
<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
And my results :D (Startup page works)

However, I am still getting the same error when i press start. The Patchlog is the same and it spits out that 404 error. I'm just going to have to research more on that later unless someone knows the answer here.
Edit:
I trashed Wamp and now I am working with Xampp. Anyone else facing problems with Wamp should uninstall it and should even go into the registry and remove the Apache2.2 service. Then install Xampp with Apache and FileZilla service's. Also, make absolutely sure your port 80 is open.
