So I installed xampp and tried to start but Apache was giving the usual error of port busy and I changed the port address to 8080 and also the localhost to 8080 in the httpd.conf file.

Now,localhost just shows a blank page,no files I save in the htdocs folder show up.It's just a blank page and nothing happens.Any suggestions?

  • Were there still errors after changing the port to 8080, or were you able to start apache? Also, did you enter 'localhost' or 'localhost:8080' in the browser? – Emil Aug 28 '15 at 12:48
  • please test your port. refer this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1960750/how-to-find-which-program-is-using-port-80-in-windows – dp4solve Aug 28 '15 at 12:59

  • Actually I just uninstalled it and then installed again,I had to change the port address again in the httpd.conf and httpd-ssl.conf and it worked! – gospelslide Aug 28 '15 at 14:13

Try: "localhost:8080" instead of "localhost" in URL area.
