Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

I just downloaded XAMPP Windows 1.7.3 to my XP computer. I am going to attempt to build a Joomla website. The instructions say to test after starting the Apache server by going to address
http://localhost/. I get page can not be displayed when I try that. Is there something I'm missing. The instructions appear to be pretty straight forward? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Are you sure your Apache is started?
Please take a look in your XCP (Xampp Control Panel) and check, if there is a green "running" Label in the line next to Apache
We don't provide any support via personal channels like PM, email, Skype, TeamViewer!It's like porn for programmers

You can also try
http://127.0.0.1/Windows XP is known to have problems resolving localhost (as it must be defined in hosts file IIRC).
If Altrea's hint doesn't help and 127.0.0.1 works fine, you should edit your hosts (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts) file so that it includes this line:
- Code: Select all
127.0.0.1 localhost
