Hi, yall: I'm using xampp. The Apache & mysql services were started. The apache logs contained no errors. But localhost was not found. I'm weirded out by this. The only solution I found to this was to put 127.0.0.1 localhost in the hosts file, which, as I said, is already in mine & there are no other lines. Arggg!
