PLEASE HELP! downloaded xampp but local host not working

Postby kcdeane » 29. June 2020 18:03

So I followed the instructions to download Xampp and it seems to have installed, I copied the icon to the applications folder (on a mac) but when i go to localhost nothing is loading? The green lights are showing on Xampp so i am not sure what is missing? Oh I copied the wordpress folder into the htoc aswell.

Can anyone please help?
I really want to get a local site going to play around with some stuff for my website!

Thank you :)

On my xampp version you have to turn on the port forwarding and then it has to be localhost:8080. I haven't figured out how to get it to work with just localhost yet.

I'm having same issue with Catalina 10.15.6
Apache running. Network showing port forwarding to 8080.
when I try to load local host in Safari I get "Failed to open page"
When I click on "Go to Application" on Xampp controller, it opens: http://192.168.64.2/dashboard/
It's a welcome message.
