Not with so little detail.

You need to provide much more info - I can't see your screen nor know what you have done or what you are doing to arrive at any sort of conclusion as my crystal ball is in for repair after overheating with all the use it gets in these forums.

What do you see when you go to:
http://localhost
http://localhost/security
http://localhost/phpmyqdmin

Localhost.. http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/233/93262339.jpg

If that helps but it dont look like that on anyother pc

There is something wrong with your XAMPP installation and it would be best if you uninstalled this instance (as per the readme_en.txt file) and downloaded the EXE (7zip) version and extract the files to C:\ for example and it will put all the XAMPP files in to the C:\xampp folder.
Then run setup_xampp.bat file to set all the paths.

Backup your own files first before uninstalling XAMPP.


Next start the XAMPP Control Panel (XCP) and start Apache and MySQL but do not click on any of the Admin... buttons or tick any of the Svc boxes at this point.

Then try the localhost address as before.

Once we have XAMPP working correctly then we can go forward but is pointless until XAMPP is working as it should.

OK I done that but it still dont work

LOL It works on the server that XAMPP is on (localhost) but on my other pc it dont work i cant connect i get the message...

Connection Interrupted

The document contains no data.

The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.

How are you trying to connect to the computer with XAMPP installed from your other computer - what address in the browser's address bar?

on 192.168.0.6
the old one was 192.168.0.2

Open xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file in your text editor.

Look for this line:
Listen 80

Change to:
Listen *:80

Save the file and restart Apache (restart means stop then start again).

See if that helps.

No it still comes up with the same message I did what you told me to do

Clear your browser's cache and try again, BTW there is no need to forward ports on a LAN.

I only port forwarded because i used to host Forums and stuff...
I cleared the cache but its still same

Have you tried turning of your router then powering back on again?

Check this Google as you are not alone with your error message.

I did it when it started to do it but no dif
Thanks for link
