When I check http://localhost in the browser, I see an error page.

apache is running but can't see localhost working

In the XAMPP control panel, Apache is running:

you can see control panel apache is running

Hmm, actually it should show a green "started" next to the Apache service. When you check your Windows processes, is there anything related to httpd or Apache?

Can you right-click on Computer in your Start-menu and click on properties? Is 32-bit or 64-bit Operating system listed under System type:? – Duijf – 2011-10-17T11:44:25.290

It is a 64 bit OS and when I check process there is nothing related to httpd or apache – Registered User – 2011-10-17T11:52:37.243

Maybe there is a program that is already using port 80 (Skype for example) You can use TCPView to look for the that is using it. Port 80 is required to start apache (but you can use another port).

Try checking for more details in the Apache log file. Should be under E:\xamp\xampp\apache\logs\error_log (from the top of my head, might slightly differ), that should give more details on what's going wrong. – Oldskool – 2011-10-17T12:50:17.877

are you using skype? or another program that use internet? probably apache start fails... – Marcx – 2011-11-02T13:41:13.113
