Unable to run scipts from localhost

[minbari]

Hi,
I have installed Xampp 1.8.1 on Windows 8 and everything seems to be working fine. All is installed on my second partion d:
I can logon to localhost:8080 and localhost/xampp

Now I want to install Wordpress. WP is unpacked in d:/xampp/htdocs/wp

When I try to run the install.php, localhost:8080/wp/wp-admin/install.php, all I'm getting is http error 404.


Need help please

Hi minbari,

I can logon to localhost:8080 and localhost/xampp

Please tell us all configuration changes you have done since clean installation of XAMPP.

best wishes,
Altrea

Only done one change, Notepad++ set as editor.

So why do you think Apache HTTPD is talking HTTP on port 8080?

[minbari]

Ah, of course, it should be port 80.
I just tried that port and no more http 404, but instead error establishing database connection.
I will check the config file.
