Hi all,
 
I installed XAMPP on my new Vista laptop (I requested the XP downgrade, but
didn't seem to get it.)
 
Anyway, it doesn't work. I can't go to http://localhost, or the ip address
http://127.0.0.1, I get that it isn't found.
And I can't start Apache from the XAMPP program window, which actually does
show up on the task bar.
I did read their note about Vista:
Vista Note:
Because of missing or insufficient write permissions in "C:\Program Files",
we recommend to use alternate folder for XAMPP ("C:\xampp" or
"C:\meinverzeichnis\xampp"). 
 
And installed it in C:/xampp
 
My next computer might very well be a MAC, which would shock people who know
me well.
 
Thanks,
Nan
