server/compiler error for http://localhost/
Posted: 09. May 2010 08:31
I'm trying to install MediaWiki on Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit via http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Ne ... on_Windows.
I was able to install XAMPP for Windows 1.7.2 successfully to the C:\ drive.
However, when trying to open http://localhost/ I get a "Server Error in '/' Application" "Compilation Error" with some additional technical details.
I think this might be because Apache doesn't seem to be running. On the XAMPP Control Panel, when I click [Start] for Apache, the text for Apache says "Apache started;" however, on MySql when I clicked [Start], it also said "MySql started," but the status next to MySql changed to "Running" and the button changed from [Start] to [Stop]. Apache still just says [Start] and no indication that it's running.
Can someone help me out to try to get XAMPP working properly so I can secure it (your help page says to go to http://localhost/security/) and install MediaWiki?
