phpMyAdmin in Xampp not working

Question

I\'m getting below error when I type in localhost/phpMyAdmin after starting apache and mysql server in Xampp in Windows 7 environment.

Is there a way I can fix this issu

Answer 1

I just finished installing xampp 1.8.2 on WinXP XP2 machine and got same error show up on my Firefox 24.0 browser:

xampp Not Found The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this server.

I solved this problem by changing the proxy of my firefox browser, go to menu tools-Option find tab Network, click button settings. Fill the text box below No Proxy for with localhost.

In my case then it looklike:

192.168.1.0/24, localhost

Then press Ok, then Ok again.

Try now typing localhost/xampp then it should show Welcome to XAMPP for Windows!

Note: to change proxy for other browser may differ, check your browser help about how to change proxy.

Hope this help.
