Hi All - I am new to XXAMP.
I have installed XXAMP Version 1.8.1 for Windows.
I am using XXAMP Control Panel 3.1.0.3.1.0
When I type in address:
http://localhost/
in Firefox 10.0.2
I get the following error message:
“Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.”
Other details:
Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2012
Service Pack 3
I’ve turned off the Firewall using command Firewall.cpl and selecting OFF under General settings.
When I Ping localhost, I get:
“Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

I’ve installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008
I have Avira anti-virus software running, but have disabled this.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
