Necuima Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi Larry, Have you come across a restriction re access to localhost in the latest version of Windows 10? Prior to the latest version, my XAMPP/localhost scripts were all running perfectly but since the 'upgrade' to the latest version of Windows 10, now there is no access to localhost at all, not even to phpinfo.php. I have tried several different browsers and they all exhibit the same restriction so it seems nothing to do with the browser. I have Googled extensively and it seems that it is a known 'feature' of the latest incarnation of Windows 10 with lots of suggestions on how to deal with the restriction but so far anyway, all the 'fixes' that I have tried are to no avail. Are you aware of this? If so, do you have any advice on how to fix this? Thanks, Necuima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necuima Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi Larry, I did some more investigating and found that Apache no longer starts automatically even though the auto-starts are set for MariaDB and the server. If you manually start them, then everything is OK. I will continue investigating. Cheers from Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necuima Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Found the issue :-) Somehow when Win 10 was 'upgraded', the auto-start for XAMPP itself got 'lost'. Have re-instated it and all OK now. Whew!! Cheers from Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
