wildteen88 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Try http://127.0.0.1/ If that doesn't work your Windows Hosts file must be corrupt. localhost is an alias to 127.0.0.1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/100847-solved-localhost/#findComment-516074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
