Localhost not working after solving start problems on apache

Postby hegmannkris » 04. December 2020 04:05

Recently I encountered problems on Xampp 3.2.4 where my Apache shutdown unexpectedly. So I did change the configurations of port and ssl on configuration settings. So it is now working. When I tried to login on my localhost I change the localhost address with the new port from 80 to 8080. Ex. localhost:8080/Wp-admin but can't login. I encountered an error saying "HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found". I hope somebody can help me with this so I can get back on track with my project.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

You need to tell your wordpress installation too what the new port is. Otherwise the urls will not get generated correct.
I don't know if this needs to be changed in the database or config file.

The other possibility would be to identify the port blocking process. Maybe you can stop or change this process to not block again the default Apache ports.
