XAMPP localhost and 127.0.0.1 don't work but computer name does work
- by Steven
I am running on a vista. Localhost and 127.0.0.1 do not work anymore but my computer name still works. Localhost and 127.0.0.1 only show a blank page however using my computer name can access xampp homepage as well as my server files. I am assuming there is something wrong with my hosts file but when i checked it looks fine:
127.0.0.1 localhost
is the only thing in there that is not commented out, which seems right according to what I've seen on the web so far.
I had a trojan recently that I got rid of so I believe that definitely has something to do with it. It was msa.exe among potentially others but I think I got rid of it with Malwarebytes. This is the only issue that is left. Thanks!
