Apache Friends Support Forum

Hopefully someone can assist.
I am very new at this. I am using Xampp. I ran a php script to connect to the MySql database. Nothing is happening but spinning in the browser tab.
Also, I changed the port to 8081 for apache. I used usernames with no password, and still nothing.
I don't know if Xampp needs extra configuration.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

First of all, please don't change any ports except you know exactly what you are doing and that it is the only way to solve a problem.
We cannot really help to debug your script. First thing should be to take a look into the Apache log files access.log and error.log and the php_error_log.
You should at least see the request to your php script in the access.log, but maybe also some error messages.
