xampp runs, but I can't get to xampp main page!

Hello everyone,

A weird little problem has stopped me in my tracks. A few days ago, I installed Smarty and tested it out. Got a few errors, which I resolved. However, now when I try to go to the xampp main page (by typing "localhost" into my browser's address field), the browser takes me to the same error it displayed when I was testing out Smarty. The address field still says "http://localhost/" but the xampp main page is not displaying.

Proably easily solved, but I'm stumped. Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Don't know. Maybe it's easier to help you, if you post us your error message!?

I'd show you a screen shot, which would probably be the best way to describe the problem, but I can't even figure out how to paste a screen shot into the post.

So I'll try to describe the problem with words. The error message I think is irrelevant, but I'll post it anyway:
Warning: require(Smarty.class.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 8

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Smarty.class.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php on line 8


My problem is that that is what comes up when I type "localhost" into my browser's address. i.e., the xampp main page doesn't come up, just the error message. The browser address field still says "http://localhost/". And, to repeat, the error is no longer an issue because I already fixed it.
