http://localhost/ not working with EasyPHP

I've verified my host file in windows/system32/drivers/etc/ has an entry for localhost in it, but it's not going anywhere. I have to have a port number in the URL: http://127.0.0.1:8888/

Is there anything I can do to get localhost working without the need for a port number?

For windows 8 users, you should also make sure that you are running it as administrator.

Right click on easyPHP shortcut and change the compatibility setting to always run as administrator.

After this, make sure the "httpd.conf" file in "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-12.1\conf_files"

Has this line in it:

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

To verify that you had my problem, check 127.0.0.1:8887/

I had the same trouble today and when I tried to fix this by changing the port by the EasyPHP program, this didn't resolve. If this occurs try go to folder program/apache/conf and manually change httpd.conf:

Here the httpd of the program folder indicates 127.0.0.1:80 while httpd conf apache folder show 127.0.0.1:8887.

Find in httpd.conf below... Options FollowSymLinks Indexes AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Allow from 127.0.0.1

And add line like this: Allow from ::1

Result: Options FollowSymLinks Indexes AllowOverride None Order deny,allow Allow from 127.0.0.1 Allow from ::1

And restart apache..:)

for an http url the default port 80. ie http://localhost is equal to http://localhost:80 which is also equals to the ip-http://127.0.0.1

like Krtek said you can refer the tutorial in a reverse way.

Try editing conf_files/httpd.conf.

Change values listed as 8888 to 80, and you should not need to use a port on restart.

You can try to run your webserver on Port 80.

Your EasyPHP is probably configured to listen on port 8888.

You must configure EasyPHP to listen on port 80 as well.

For your information, the default port for HTTP is the port 80, so when you don't give any port information in the url, your browser is trying to connect on port 80.

You can follow this tutorial : http://technology.ohmygoh.com/easyphp-how-to-change-apache-server-port/
