Php – Xampp localhost not working and showing a blank page

apachelocalhostPHPxampp

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?

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

Apache – Accessing localhost (xampp) from another computer over LAN network – how to

Localhost is just a name given for the loopback, eg its like referring to yourself as "me" ..

To view it from other computers, chances are you need only do http://192.168.1.56 or http://myPcsName if that doesnt work, there is a chance that there is a firewall running on your computer, or the httpd.conf is only listening on 127.0.0.1
