any clue what to do?

any clue what to do?

In XAMPP For Windows read the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file for clues to the 404 error file not found.

Make sure that Apache and MySQL are showing the green running indication in the XAMPP Control Panel ( XCP ).

For Linux issues please post in the XAMPP For Linux forum.
