Please.... do not capitalize your post subject.... do you think that you will get an answer more quickly if you do so?


****

msxplorer

what is your system?  is it mswindows?
are you sure that your localhost  has a working apache installation? a php? etc.. etc...

what do you mean that it does not open? ...... blank page? error? host not found?

be more specific please?

[paranoic]

im working on win xp SP2
i already have used this localhost by same apache on the same xp os

on firefox it shows blank page but ob explorer shows: The page cannot be found (HTTP 404)

[ks-net]

are you using xampp?

if not install it  ... is better on win to use xampp....  you can control-adnistrate easier  mysql,ftp,apache,php.....

are you sure your local server(apache,php,mysql) running proper?

[paranoic]

everything works just ok with apache, as usual.... no errors or disfunctions noticed

i have not used any other local server but apache cause i never had one single prblm with it

whats that xxamp abput, where can i download it,  ... can i use it even i have apache instaled
could u give me any short directions , if there is no answer for my problem

i can understand this might be hard problem to solve,.. there is no forum i could find a concreet answer aabout this problem

What is your currently installed PHP version?

[ks-net]

xampp is an application that installs apache-ftp-phpmyadmin-mysql-php  under it's root folder and  provides a global-admin panel to setup all this.. a main panel to control start-stop-restart  any of this services and servers also is easier to see if something goes wrong(stopped server etc..)

i think that you will need to uninstall old servers.. but no problem... xammp will install it's own versions

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

i mention it because almost every windows user  uses xampp to setup a local server(easy to control things on  mswin-shit).....

as for me  i use linux ... and i have no need of this applications

[paranoic]

i installed xxamp (erased apache) and the same thing happens.
have no idea what could it be. first when i could not enter localhost after research i formated my disc and installed fresh win xp
fresh apache, everithing required i installed properly and everythig works just fine
but localhost does not appear

.... donno what to say else,... im confused

Have you read this: https://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/local-apache-and-virtual-hosts.html

[CREATIVE Options]

or try to remove the httaccess.txt (or .htaccess) file.

[ks-net]

ok... take them from the beginning... describe exactly the problem...
don't say just "not opening"... give more details

[datahell]

You have not set up Apache properly. Open httpd.conf and set the documentroot directive and a directory entry.

Example:

DocumentRoot "D:/myweb/elxis"
<Directory "D:/myweb/elxis">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

he thinks that apache works... but i am not quite sure... so i mention xammp cause there are php and mysql that needs to de setup and running and win-guys have no experience on all this staff

what do you mean that it does not open? ...... blank page? error? host not found?

i got no answer yet

>> when you in your web browser type in 127.0.0.1 or localhost it appears filelist from httpdocs that uploaded earliary (eg. joomla elxis or any other cms in order to install it), it used to work just fine, i installed elxis on localhost like 100 times
in my case only blank page shows up when using mozilla, and when using ms explorer shows that page cannot be found

i deleted apache and installed xxamp and same thing happens again.

(sorry for kinda "like an idiot" explanation, but i cannot exxpress myself better in english)

i also tryed to turn off my firewalls and antiviruses, but no result

i don't want you to fill like that....

so apache works
and blank page is the answer we want.... probably your php is not installed or not configured properly .. check this first

upload a test.php file ... write inside it 
<?php phpinfo() ; ?>   
call it in browser and tell as what happened... if all is ok then your php information will load.... if so then tell as what your php version is
