I am so frustrated, if there is anyone in Los Angeles I will drive to you and meet you at a Starbuck's ( and spring for a latte or lunch somewhere) if you can get my Windows 8 running with XAMPP and my LocalHost and security issues going properly.
I've got Windows 8 PRO on my laptop. Just installed latest XAMPP & with latest control panel.
I launched control panel and started Apache & mySQL.
I edited my HOSTS file and now I have these lines:
------------
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
-------------------
If I try to go to http://localhost/xampp/index.php OR http://localhost/xampp/xampp.php OR even http://localhost/xampp/ it cannot find any of those. Any help would be appreciated
