viewtopic.php?p=138560#p138560 ive also done every thing in that thread

and still cant get into mysql security or php install
this

http://localhost/phpbb/install/install.php

It's just changing two lines in one file. I guess that's what you can read in the other thread?
Removing "::1" in your HOSTS file might be also necessary.

Can you access the normal demopages with "http://localhost/" or "http://127.0.0.1/", and are these working?

yes i can view the above pages

[Wiedmann]

yes i can view the above pages

Well, so XAMPP (Apache/MySQL) is working.

And for the problem with the security page, you have found the answer in the other thread. Solved?
