Xampp: web browser won't show the localhost page

Question

I have installed xampp on Windows7(64bit).I want to work with PHP, Apache and MySql. The server Apache and the MySql services are running properly on the Xampp control panel

Answer 1

Try doing a netstat -a on your cmd and see if there are any other services which are running on port 80.You can also use netstat -b to find the name of the service however this requires cmd to be run as administrator. The most likely culprit is that there are some other services running on this port which do not allow Xampp to start up properly? Do you have a service like skype . If so that is the reason your not able to access particular page. An other thing you can do is to go into httpd.conf and change the listen to some other port other than 80 and test it out.Dont forget to add localhost:your selected port once you change the port to test it out.
