I'm following a tutorial on how to create a worpress theme

I’m stuck on the step 4- Open your browser and go to this address: http://localhost/. From the menu on the left column, choose your preferred language.

I have installed XAMPP and I am running apache and MySQL, I have been stumped on this bit for ages. Nothing shows up when I open http://localhost/. what am I doing wrong?

Missing support info - what XAMPP version and which Windows OS?

Is Apache running - check in the XAMPP Control Panel.

Read the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file.

Make sure your firewall is not blocking the Apache port.
