I'm running Windows XP SP3. I tried to install and run XAMPP 1.7.3. Seems like everything downloaded and installed fine, but upon trying to start Apache as a service from the Control Panel, it would show "started", but would not show a "running" status like the MYSql did.
I then read through a post of someone having a similar problem with this version, but not version 1.6.6a. So I uninstalled 1.7.3, installed 1.6.6a...still the same problem. Apache gets started, but does not run. When I try to open http://localhost/ in my browser, it's blank in FF and the 404 message in IE. Where do I start troubleshooting to get this up and running?
Thanks all.
