404 means it's having trouble talking to the server, have you made sure your Aphche server is running in the xampp-control panel?

Also when you first extracted xampp to your primary drive usually C:\ did you open your browser and go to http://localhost/xampp to reinstall xampp?

also make sure ports 80 and 443 are forwarded correctly in your router settings.

Hello,

404 means the server is running but the page you requested does not exist.

If your 'myWebsite' folder is in '/xampp/htdocs' then your URL should be http://localhost/myWebsite/installation/index.php

The URL you specified means your 'myWebsite' folder is in '/xampp/htdocs/xampp'

have you tried the url http://localhost to make sure it's working and if so then you have a misspelling in your link or as the error is saying the location doesn't exist.
