title: XAMPP - local host problems
body: <p>I have picked up some possible answers to my problem here, but none have so far worked.  </p>
  
  <p>I have installed XAMPP but get the dreaded HTTP 404 error on both IE and Firefox when asking for '<a href="http://localhost/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/</a>'.  I work with Dreamweaver but cannot get the testing server (XAMPP) to work, although I can connect to the linux/apache remote server.</p>
  
  <p>Skype has been uninstalled.  Therefore XAMPP is running on port 80 by itself.</p>
  
  <p>XAMPP says Apache and Mysql have 'started'.</p>
  
  <p>Is there someone that could please help me?</p>
