XAMPP is installed and I have Apache and MySQL working. I have copied the WordPress files into a folder under htdocs. I have created a database for WordPress in MySQL. I am running on Windows 11 Pro.
Any ideas why this is not working?
I can open the phpadmin webpage with no problems. When I try to open the WordPress folder I get the error message:
404 Not Found.
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.56 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1t PHP/8.2.4 Server at localhost Port 9090
I found the problem. My stupid mistake. I created two instances of XAMPP and I copied the WordPress files in the inactive folder. I deleted the inactive XAMPP and copied the WordPress files into the active htdocs folder and now everything works.
Next time you hear of this problem ask them to make sure they don't have two instances of XAMPP installed.
