I am brand new to web development...and getting Drupal running is a barrier no amount of Googling has helped solve.
When I install WAMPServer it works fine. When I tried to open my local domain name, I'm not redirected to profile selection page of Drupal installation.it leads me to the Wampserver localhost page. Here's the funny part, I tried opening localhost and it took me to bitnami's page (I tried using their xampp earlier without success)
Can anyone tell me why, how? I'm confused and hungry.

My advice, dump WAMP and use IIS. ;) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2016-04-26T17:48:42.963
it's less complicated? – Muoneke Arnold – 2016-04-26T17:58:36.417
Depends on your POV. To me, no it's not. To others, perhaps. Here's a guide for installing Drupal on IIS 7: http://www.iis.net/learn/application-frameworks/install-and-configure-php-applications-on-iis/install-drupal-on-iis, and also see https://www.drupal.org/documentation/install/windows. Using the Web Platform Installer to handle PHP makes it even easier. ;)
