ShoeLace1291 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've been using Xampp for a while now, but have never had many problems with it. I stopped using it for about a month or so. I just opened it up and localhost is now not responding. I tried reinstalling it but it's still not working. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Have you installed any new firewall rules? Skype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maq Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I tried reinstalling it but it's still not working. What exactly happens, do you get any error output? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLace1291 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 No it's just Firefox's Server Not Responding page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlhaslip Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Have you started the Xammp Server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLace1291 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Yes. Apache is running and MySQL is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlhaslip Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 see Thorpe's posting above. Do you have an install of Skype running? The ports interfere with Xampp. *edit to add link* http://www.trap17.com/forums/Skype-Xampp-Port-Conflict-t47591.html&hl=XAMPP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoeLace1291 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 When I try to open it in Notepad, it says I don't have permission to open it, even when I run Notepad as an administrator. Edit: I tried accessing it through http://127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and that works. the only problem is that when I try to access PHPMyAdmin through that, it says I don't have permission. It's an Access forbidden! 403 error. And no I don't have skype running. Never used skype in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Maybe your hosts file is broken. Make sure there is an entry for localhost, eg; 127.0.0.1 localhost You'll need to search for a file named hosts, I'm not a windows user. It'd be within your SYSTEM32 dir somewhere.

corbin Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 When I try to open it in Notepad, it says I don't have permission to open it, even when I run Notepad as an administrator. That's strange.... You could just change the permissions on it to let you open it. Don't know how it got to that state though. And yeah, the hosts file is %windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (%windir% almost always being C:\Windows [or some other letter]). Note that it's "hosts" not hosts.txt or anything.

Note that it's "hosts" not hosts.txt or anything. He's on Mac I believe, and if served correctly it's "/private/etc/hosts" just like most linux systems are "/etc/hosts". No extension.

ShoeLace1291 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 No, I am on windows vista. I heard that a recent update for vista may cause it, but I have no idea how to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
