(Welcome to XAMPP for Windows 5.5.33

You have successfully installed XAMPP on this system! Now you can start using Apache, MariaDB, PHP and other components. You can find more info in the FAQs section or check the HOW-TO Guides for getting started with PHP applications.

Start the XAMPP Control Panel to check the server status.)

I also tried to open the inedx.php file from htdocs in Firefox (Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(
Same problem with internet explorer

Apache is on green and is runing
I hope you can help me out

-- I dont think so, because Im not able to see the orange page where i can choose a language and configure PHP. When i search for ''localhost'' im coming on the dashboard page. Also when i try 127.0.0.1. It seems that somthing is wrong with the installation im using Windows 10, i already changed the port in Skype, also the port in the Apache terminal both were on port 80.

Is this a known problem??

There is no problem with the installation. As Nobbie said, everything is as it should be. The problem is that you are not using the same XAMPP version as the tutorial you are following yet you expect everything to be exactly the same.

PHP is not configured through the orange page. PHP is configured using the php.ini file.

Here is your answer to the orange page (found in the first sticky of the page): viewtopic.php?f=22&t=72517#p247609

Yes, its a known problem that people follow completely outdatet tutorials instead of reading the original FAQ. That is a problem indeed.
