# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

127.0.0.1 localhost

That is not a Xampp Problem, that is a problem of prestashop (or your own mistake).

You either installed prestashop and provided a wrong port number (8080) instead of 80, or you copied an existing installation which was running on port 8080. Unfortutenately you give no hints about that. Maybe this thread helps you:

If it does not help, you should ask there anyway.
