Why can't I navigate to the page for creating database?

I am following the tutorial from this page(http://www.copterlabs.com/blog/creating-an-app-from-scratch-part-2/). I am trying to create database by following this address:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin

but "This webpage is not available" in my browser.

I downloaded XAMPP and started "MySQL", but still can't access to the page. Is there something I should download to access the page? What are they? I am using Windows7. Thanks.

The issue, assuming you're on Windows, is that IIS is currently running and listening for requests on port 80 on your local machine. As a corollary, Apache is probably NOT running. So, to fix the issue you'll need to stop IIS and start Apache.

Stop IIS

  1. Start a new command prompt.
  2. At the command prompt, type net stop w3svc

Start Apache

  1. Start a new command prompt (or use existing).
  2. Navigate to your XAMPP installation folder (e.g. C:\xampp).
  3. Type apache_start at the command prompt
