I'm trying to run WP locally on my machine. It used to work just fine but it has been several years since I've started it up.
When I open xampp-control.exe and click "start" for Apache and MySQL in the bottom it says "started" for both services but it doesn't say running at the top next to "Apache" and "MySQL". Then, when I go to localhost in my browser I get an error message (Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to localhost or Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.). What am I doing wrong?
I checked the xampp-portcheck.exe and all ports are free.
Thanks so much in advance.
