Starting lampp in local host

[ostrich37]

I have successfully installed lampp in ubuntu 9.04. All the right messages.
When I enter http:/Local Host all I get is a wikipedia page telling me what local host means.
Any help welcome

Why do you enter "http:/Local Host"?

[ostrich37]

in order to open the main Xampp page this was the instruction given on the xampp web site. I have previously set up Xampp and Joomla in windows and the same instruction worked.

No, this instruction was not given. I know the installation instructions very well, but never saw "http://Local Host".

Can you show us these instructions?
