Problems with Apache - local host

Postby emm_lou » 12. February 2014 00:46

Hello,

As there was a conflict I had to change the port used from 80 to 88.

However, it cannot find the XAMPP splash page when I use http://localhost:88.

Although it can find it when I use http://127.0.0.1:88/xampp/.

But I cannot find my htdocs from this to run any of my files.

Can anyone please help me to get localhost:88 to work, or explain how I can use my htdocs from http://127.0.0.1:88/xampp/.


Thank you :)

If 127.0.0.1 works but not localhost, it is possible your Windows hosts file has that line commented out or no entry. If you want to try, your htdocs folder would be http://127.0.0.1:88/ (not xampp as that takes you to the htdocs/xampp folder).

As a side note, you should consider going back to port 80 and find the offending application using 80 and change it.

I did try http://127.0.0.1:88/ but the browser just fills in the xampp after it :S

Do you know how I would find what is using port 80, and how I would stop it?

That's because index.php automatically forwards to XAMPP landing page.

There is a netstat button on the control panel window. Stopping it depends in what is running.

How to I stop it from writing XAMPP after it?

The netstat say: port:80, PID:4, Name:System

It is probably Microsoft IIS. You can remove the it in Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off.

Open htdocs/index.php in your favorite editor to address the redirection.

<?php
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
$uri = 'https://';
} else {
$uri = 'http://';
}
$uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');
exit;
?>
Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(

This is my index.php . how do I change it to redirect it??

-------Thank you for your help by the way :)

Edit that page to be whatever you want.

Code: Select all
header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');

is the redirection code.
