- XAMPP version 1.7.7
- Windows 7 Ultimate
For the last two days I have been unable to access localhost/htdocs folder on any browser, after 6 months of problem free use. I have:
- removed my antivirus,
- tried re-installing XAMPP,
- edited the
windows32/drivers/etc/hostsfile, - checked for any other application using port 80
- uninstalled anything that was installed around the date XAMPP stopped working
This URL works: http://localhost/xampp/index.php
I switched back to my old httpd.conf file (which worked for months) which has the following changes:
DocumentRoot "C:/users/user/desktop/dropbox/dropbox/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/users/user/desktop/dropbox/dropbox/htdocs">
and still have the same problem, but can still access http://localhost/xampp/index.php.
I'm now at a loss what to do next. When I type localhost/webfolder in Firefox it defaults to http://www.localhost.com/ and in Chrome it tries to go to http://www.localhost/
