xampp

I have picked up some possible answers to my problem here, but none have so far worked.

I have installed XAMPP but get the dreaded HTTP 404 error on both IE and Firefox when asking for 'http://localhost/'. I work with Dreamweaver but cannot get the testing server (XAMPP) to work, although I can connect to the linux/apache remote server.

Skype has been uninstalled. Therefore XAMPP is running on port 80 by itself.

XAMPP says Apache and Mysql have 'started'.

Is there someone that could please help me?
