I installed XAMPP on my mac months ago and was working great.
Now i get "Test Page For Apache Installation" when i try to browse /localhost
and /localhost/xampp is not found.
But when i browse /127.0.0.1 it just works as localhost used to be.
I double checked my /etc/hosts file that i have 127.0.0.1 localhost and not commented.
Also when i browse localhost/~username/test.php , i get contents of test.php:
<?php echo 'ganim'; ?>
but if i browse 127.0.0.1/~username/test.php , i get:
ganim
what could change redirecting of localhost or how can i get localhost work again?
