Hi,
I am a new member. At age 83, I am starting to learn what I need to know to build an interactive web site, including managing a large database with MySQL.
I am attempting to install and validate XAMPP using the instructions in the book Learning PHP, MySQL & JavaScript by Robin Nixon (2014). I seem to have it installed, but in attempting to "test the installation" per page 24, when I type localhost or 127.0.0.1 or C:/xampp/htdocs or http://localhost I am unable to get the XAMPP home page (that shows on page 24.)
Should I be using a different (more up to date) procedure, or is there an alternative to the XAMPP host capability, or what??
Thanks
Ed
