I want to install wordpress on localhost
I have downloaded and installed XAMPP.
I have downloaded the wordpress 3.4.1 and placed it in htdocs folder.and i renamed it as demo_folder.
when i type in navigation bar localhost/demo_folder it shows Unable to connect page.
As you can see the apache is not running as shown in fig.
when i click on start it doesnt get started
I dont know why?
can anyone help me out???
EDIT1
the below is netstat -an cmd screenshot
This is a fairly common problem with XAMPP/Windows. The usual suspect is that there is another application running on port 80, which you should terminate. Also please use the web, there is a wealth of information on this topic.
To view all currently open ports and the PID of the process using that port, open cmd and run
This should help with changing the port Apache runs on: http://www.geckoandfly.com/7491/xampp-apache-wont-start-change-port-to-listen-85/ .
