INSTALLATION OF XAMP ON WINDOWS XP

Postby slicence » 02. March 2004 17:05

Please help. I have downloaded XAMP and installed it, but can't connect via localhost. I get "page not displayed".

Also will downloading this XAMP help me easily create databases and PHP files? Where do I store everything and how does it work. I'm really confused.


Reading the other messages I have already tried the following:

1) Connect via 127.0.0.1 - no luck
2) Tried another browser - no luck
3) Telnet localhost 80 on localhost. Connection OK. Typed in some stuff, but got no HTML. Any suggestions?

apache service

Did you start the apache service by launching the .bat file in the xampp directory?

Clarification - and what I've achieved

Postby slicence » 03. March 2004 09:42

I'm not quite sure what you mean. If you mean the setup_xamp.bat yes I ran that, and have tried refreshing it.

I also run apache_start.bat and mysql_start.bat everytime I want to connect. I'm wondering if it is just the PHP stuff, as I managed to create an MySQL database using another tool.

However I have just tried a php script in a browser using http://127.0.0.1/myscript.php and it said "Connection refused"

I then tried again to telnet 127.0.0.1 port 80 and connection was refused also.

I have run up apache and mySQL and both say they have started. I can connect to the mySQL database through another program, so I don't understand what else is the problem via telnet or a browser. I have tried both Mosaic and IE as the browsers. I have never tried to set this up before, so it's probably something simple. I ran the following :

setup_xamp.bat
apache_start.bat
mysql_start.bat

Is there anything else I need to run or how would I un-install xamp completely to try installation again?

Any suggestions?

filezilla

try running the filezilla server. i found wierd things dont happen when you dont run that.
Are you looking to use all the functions of xampp like php, mysql, apache etc? or do you just want a webserver.
