Hiya,
I've been using XAMPP for weeks with no problems. Today, halfway through work it stops connecting to Firefox when I run a file through it. Localhost/xampp/ also doesn't load in the browser. After trying many things I uninstalled and reinstalled. After changing the 443 and 80 ports to 4433 and 8080 it worked OK. No problems. I then noticed that a blank command prompt was open. I closed it. From that moment I was then unable to connect to Firefox. So I uninstalled and reinstalled. The command prompt appeared again and as long as I didn't close it it worked fine.
Obviously this isn't a usuable situation. Everytime I start my computer I would need to uninstall and reinstall XAMPP.
I'm using Windows 7 64bit.
Please let me know if you need any more information. I'm working where I can't get an internet connection so if I can't get this to work then I can't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Paul
