http://localhost is not loading

I have installed Xampp to use wordpress, but after installing Xampp with Apache, MySql running.....I go to the browser and type "", nothing happens, just blank screen.

My apache server was not running, I came to know that IIS was the problem and had to disable it.

Could anyone solve this issue as the is not working to make xampp and wordpress run.

That's almost exactly what I'm looking at and mine is working. I would check your firewall, when IIS was running could you get to it? Also browse to if you can get to that link it may be a DNS/Hosts file issue. can you get to ?

Enable the display_errors PHP configuration option so that you can see the error(s) that the PHP engine is trying to show you.

What happens if you try to load the page from another PC? Try http:\computername or http:\ipaddress.

Also is Wordpress configured to be in the root directory. I think by default it is something like, http:\localhost\blog
