[Help] Xampp Localhost connection error[Help]

[alex194568]

I have installed Xampp correctly and apache and mysql have started properly. When i type in localhost or 127.0.0.1 or anything similar to try and set up a password or view the pages, it doesnt work. I get an error each time that says:
This web page is not available


ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

I have uninstalled and re installed xampp, even older versions, restarted my laptop and even made a whole new account and downloaded it with no such luck. Can someone please help me?

Kind regards

Everything seemed perfectly fine when I team-viewered him

Give me Teamviewer details and I'll fix

I had this issue, turn out a bare bones IIS installed itself.. Goodness know why, I just uninstalled it and was good as new. Go into programs and features and disable IIS (If enables ofc)

You could also just stop the IIS system through its manager, if you wanted to keep both systems

I'm not the guy with the issue, I was just saying that I was having issues helping him & that everything was fine when I checked it out
Anyway who knows @_Josh may have a point

I fixed it for him

Yeah, what'd you do tho.....?

 

[Vanish]

I fixed it for him

I obviously asked HOW did you fix it, not who fixed it

I fixed it by making it work instead of having it not work

I was also asking because if someone might face this issue they can refer to this thread and see your lovely reply and how you fixed it.

 

[Ecko]

Make sure Apache is running on port 8080 and Nginx is on 80

No @eckostylez you didnt help me, this thread remains open due to recently my laptop deciding to update to a newer version of windows and the problem is back. Maybe IIS was installed i dont know, can someone help please?

 

[Ecko]

Yes, gimme Teamviewer details and I will

 

[alex194568]

No i rather you told me then go on my Teamviewer tyvm

 

[Vanish]

@eckostylez You should describe the fix on the forums, some people might have the same problem and they'll find the fix instead of having you go to their teamviewer..

 

[alex194568]

I did at the start of the thread, i dunno the issue

Look, everyone resolves issues differently and if you don't want someone to help you personally then don't take them up on their offer.. Yes, it's nice when an issue is explained on the forum incase other users are having a similar problem but you (OP) could also take the time to explain the fix after you've been assisted.. It works both ways.

No more posting about who should do what etc. Half this thread has been removed as it is.
