No idea if in the right forum section, so if, not sorry. I am needing to instal xampp on my PC for web development. So far everything I have tried has done nothing to help. What happens is that the page just says "waiting for response from Localhost" and never loads. IIS, Skype and any other program that might interfere is off (well what I know of at least). Also tested EasyPHP and WampServer incase it was the software but with same results. I even tried changing the hosts file as recomended in some forum sections with no change. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with IE9. So can anyone shed some light on this and help me?? Is this a win7 problem? Realy do not care as long as I can get it sorted. Thanks to anyone that can help.
