There's probably a really simple solution that's just hovering over my head and I really appreciate any help I can get.
I'll describe below each step in the process I've taken and what I've done.
Installation:
1. Fresh installation of Windows Server 2012 R2 (Skype, IIS or other software and features are not installed).
2. Server domain joined with static IP-address.
3. Installed xampp-win32-1.8.3-5-VC11-installer.exe to default installation location C:\xampp\
4. I have not touched httpd.conf or other configuration files.
Firewall:
I've opened the following default firewall ports across domain, private and public profiles:
Apache: 80, 443 (TCP)
MySQL: 3306 (TCP)
Tomcat: 8005, 8009, 8080 (TCP)
Control Panel:
1. I started the XAMPP Control Panel as administrator.
2. I installed Apache, MySQL and Tomcat as services and started them; they all start and are listed as running. (I tested starting and stopping the services a few times when troubleshooting)
Testing if it works:
I open Internet Explorer on the server and go to http://localhost/ but after a few seconds I'm met with This page can't be displayed message.
I checked the log files:
C:\xampp\apache\logs\access.log <-- file is empty
C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log <-- the entries below are logged immediately upon starting the apache service
- Code: Select all

I checked Netstat via the XAMPP Control Panel to see what executable used which port:
