Tried Installing on laptop

  • Ok, i’ve tried installing Apache on my laptop. I get to the point where i press the two start buttons. Both light up but then one stops. I put https://localhost/xampp/splash.php in my browser window and nothing happened.

    This is my second time trying this.

    Also, I tried installing WordPress on my personal server for a website i’m developing. It failed. Then i contacted the people who would install it for me, he emailed me but didn’t reply. I’m not in a rush, but I don’t know what is going on.

    Why is this so hard to do?

  • HandySolo, you are a bit sarcastic, GEEE.

    I apologize if that’s your impression. That was not my intent.

    MichaelH, it is still that way, but it still doesn’t work.

    Here is the link that describes the error message

    Maybe it took a few tries to decide it wanted to work right. STUPID!

    I can’t imagine anything i did different.

    I think, I’ve figured out the problem.

    On my work computer which is what i usually use, i can’t access my FTP site. So i have to use my laptop with a dialup connection. Once i uploaded the page, I used my work computer again to pull everything up in the browser. Well, when i do that, i get an error message. But when i use my laptop, i get the install page.

    I don’t understand why that is, but this is what is happening apparently.

    I had to disconnect but I’m going to try it again and see.

    YEs that is the problem. Everytime i try the install.php link on my laptop, it works. When i do it on my work computer, it doesn’t.
