Newbie warning - XAMPP won't load localhost webpage - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


release version: 1.5.14
localhost – xampp 1.7.2 windows
system information: php, apache/iis, mysql - version numbers - don't know, see localhost file version?
os: xp-sp2

the problem in detail:

i downloaded , installed xampp 1.7.2, followed instructions found on site. looked fine. launched xampp control panel, checked svc box apache, note service started, checked svc box mysql, note service has started , words "running" beside mysql.

i openned ie , tried load http://localhost/ , 127.0.0.1 , neither worked, nor in firefox. webpage remains blank.

what have tried solve issue:

uninstalled, re-installed, same result, uninstalled , re-installed, different source, same result, shouted @ computer (no effect).

the install seemed quite straight forward, not sure did wrong. i've installed hundreds of programs before , not had many problems. first attempt @ using cms though, quite new.

any suggestions on how localhost webpage show up?

thanks.

bonjour,

welcome joomla! , forum :)

there should sort of notice somewhere (not sure :) ) latest versions of popular wamp packages contain php 5.3 joomla! 1.5.14 (latest) not compatible with.

the easiest way things going go 1.7.1 version; works fine, although personal fave uniform server (version 4.3 - mona). there patch available 1.5.14 let work php 5.3 i'm not sure where; 1.5.15 due out well, work 5.3.

cheers!
