Windows 7 Host File

I found today that the hosts file that resolves hostname locally on the PC does not have localhost defined in Windows 7, which actually means that when you're setting up PHP, MySQL with IIS, remember to add localhost back in - especially if you're going to use phpmyadmin. As the default setting is to use localhost. Otherwise you'll get a blank screen with no errors.
