<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nTesting Your XAMPP Installation<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
Follow these steps to test your XAMPP installation by launching the Apache web server and creating a simple PHP file.<\/p>\n
- \n
- In the XAMPP control panel, click on \u2018Start\u2019 under \u2018Actions\u2019 for the Apache and MySQL module. This instructs XAMPP to start the Apache webserver and MySQL database.
![\"step9\"](\"http:\/\/blog.neptunescripts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/step9-300x192.png\")
<\/a><\/li>\n- Open your web browser and type in: http:\/\/localhost or http:\/\/127.0.0.1<\/li>\n
- You should see the following screen. This means you\u2019ve successfully installed XAMPP on your computer.
![\"step10\"](\"http:\/\/blog.neptunescripts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/step10-300x161.png\")
\n<\/a><\/li>\n- We will now test whether XAMPP has installed PHP successfully. To do this, fire up Notepad and type the following into a new document:<?php
\necho \u2018Hello world\u2019;
\n<\/span>?><\/span><\/li>\n- Save this file as \u2018test.php\u2019 in c:\\xampp\\htdocs\\ (or whichever directory you installed XAMPP in)<\/li>\n
- Navigate to localhost\/test.php. You should see the \u201cHello World\u201d message:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
