Unable to access localhost on browser

Postby Tshabster » 30. August 2013 16:41

Hey everyone,

I installed Xampp and everything went well. However I faced a problem because it was using the same port as skype, so I just switched the ports on the phpconfig and the htmlconfig. Apache and MySQL are running perfectly, but when I try to access localhost, or using 127.0.0.1 i get "Oops link is broken" on google chrome.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it, its been driving me crazy. Thanks.

Not only google chrome, if I may add. Any other browser shows the same thing.

Hello,

If you changed the Apache port, you need to specify the custom port in your URL (Ex: if you changed it to port 8080, your URL would be http://localhost:8080/).

It would be easier to reconfigure skype to not use 80/443 (I think it is just a checkbox in the Skype options).
