Re: PHP setup

Hi Carmen!
I guess I'm slow on my messages too, but I appreciate the response!
Thing is, I'm getting heavy workloads from day job and home life, and this is preparation for life after my current position.

I've used the control panel too, and like I explained in my other message, it acts like it's running okay. But when I go to the browser and type in http://localhost/, I get a big blank page with nothing.

I've looked over the explanations in Bryan Kelly's book, excellent as it is. I'm probably missing something but at this point the book said it is supposed to show some kind of XAMPP welcome page...

Also from the previous message:

Firewalls are not a problem.
The command entry window opens up and shortly says Apache and MySql is starting.

Alan,
Did you ever get this figured out (I'm a little behind in my messages - busy
weeks)? I guess I don't use the xampp-start option, I always run the
Control program since you can start/stop from there and it shows status.
Also, if you are using MySQL you will need to start that also - that also
can be done from the control window.
