I can't get XAMPPlite to work!

[chengan]

I've downloaded XAMPPlite, and extracted it to c:\xampplite
I've run both apache_start.bat and mysql_start.bat

But i can't connect to it? http://localhost doesn't work.
The firewall isn't blocking.

Any ideas?

(sorry for my bad english..)

The best way is to use AMPstart to launch XAMPP

http://ampstart.com

It still doesn't work. The webbrowser can't find the server..
What could be the problem?

Put AMPstart (and AMPstart.ini) in your XAMPP folder then run it.
You must allow apache and mysql to run when Windows firewall asks.
Your web server should work properly.

Put AMPstart (and AMPstart.ini) in your XAMPP folder then run it.

I've done that.

You must allow apache and mysql to run when Windows firewall asks.

Windows Firewall is inactive (turned off).
I use "Sygate Personal Firewall Pro", which is not blocking Apache and Mysql.

Your web server should work properly.

It doesn't

If i try "apache_start.bat" it shows this:

Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden
Bitte erst bei einem gewollten Shutdown schliessen
Please close this command only for Shutdown
Apache 2 is starting ...

There it stops.
Should it be like that?

You might have something (meaning software) else using port 80. change to port 8080 and in the apache config file, restart apache, then try http://localhost:8080

If that works, look for the software that is using the default http port. It could be something like skype, or other chat programs. or a windows server.

If it's skype look here first:

What happens when you go to https://localhost
?

[chengan]

Tried to chance the port, but the problem remains.
It's like IE and Opera finds something, but can't connect to it.
When Apache is off, IE shows "Not found" (or simular, I have a swedish version) but when Apache is running,
IE freezes at "Opening page http://localhost/.. (or simular, as I said, I've got a swedish version)
Any ideas?

Thanks for the help this far.
I hope you can understand me

Edit: It's the same thing with https..

My only thought is firewall or port conflict....

Try blocking all other apps with your firewall only let apache and mysql connect....

if that doesn't work I would say something is wrong with your apache files...

Wierd, doesn't work.. I tried on my other computer as well, and it doesn't work there either.

Can I download older releases of XAMPPlite?
