help with xampp install

[rob1977]

Hi all,

I have been trying to install xampp on a 32Gig fob in the hope it would function as a portable development environment.

I got it installed with PHP MySQL and perl (for a giggle).

Opened the control panel (ok)

Started both apache and MySQL (all ok)

Attempted to access the apache admin area.

Browser opened.
Attempted to access local host. (No Joy)

I tried a different browser (No Joy)

I moved and reinstalled it on desktop to see if fob was too slow and exactly the same happened.

No access to local host.

I thought about both antivirus and admin permissions, which I changed. No Joy.

It is a Windows os.

Any ideas? Or has anyone done this and got it to work?

Hello,

is apache started? it works on port 80 so you might have other applications using this port such as akype.

i have also the same problem ! i was close the skype but still ..

Close (or edit in the settings) all programs that may be using port 80 ie skype. Or change the apache port.

change the port, i think some application will be using the port require for xampp, 80 or something.

See if you have windows firewall on.

Exactly !! Skype, IIS are common culpritsIn this case u will have to configure ur apache to run on port other than 80.

Thank you all for your replies. I have not been able to reply sooner because of the ddos.

I will try and make the adjustments. Failing that I may look at another stack instead.
