Question

My localhost can't find PHP files on my HDD

Aug 29, 2013 5:41AM PDT

Or so I assume. That's what it was telling me, now it just freezes Firefox and Chrome.

I had XAMPP installed for a time after switching from WAMP. After some weeks I decided I liked WAMP better for it's homepage, so I uninstalled XAMPP, and reinstalled WAMP.
It would not read my PHP files. Firefox and Chrome both stated that it could not find the file. So after varied attempts I uninstalled WAMP, and installed XAMPP again.

Now typing a localhost path into the address bar that I know is valid freezes Firefox and Chrome.

My registry was cleaned between steps.

Any advice is very much appreciated!
