# Can't access localhost/phpmyadmin

 * Hello!
 * As the title says I am following the WordPress Ground Zero [00: Installing WordPress
   on Xampp]guide. At the moment I have reached the point where I have to configure
   phpmyadmin. The only problem is that it is unvailable. Every time I press the
   link it says something like “Server failure in the program “Default Web Site”
 * HTTP-fel 404.0 – Not Found
 * Description: The resource you are looking for has been removed, renamed or is
   not available for the moment”
 * Since I am new in the subject of servers, wordpress and xampp I have no idea 
   how to fix it.
 * Any suggestions?
 * With regards,
 * Larsoon

 * you have to open your browser and type localhost/phpmyadmin in the address bar
   to go to it. 🙂
 * Check system tray and if xampp creates problems try wamp.
 * Make sure you are logged in to your system with administrator rights as services
   require those priviledges to run.

 * Is the localhost/xampp working? If it is not, you can try starting the Apache
   service manually.
 * Type services.msc in the Start Menu. Find Apache, right-click and Start. Reload
   your browser. Do also check that the mysql service is set to Start too.

 * It’s simple. Try **127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin**
    I had the same problem and it works
   now. 😉

 * Another reason for your **localhost** being unavailable is that it may be blocked
   for direct communication by some third party applications or software you previously
   had installed. It is especially possible with cracked applications you use and
   blocked to avoid connecting to the net and local resources.
 * If this is the case with you then go and find your **hosts** file:
    For Windows
   7 – C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc 1. Open it with Notepad or another word or
   HTML editor 2. Find the line or lines that uses localhost phrase _It should be
   something like this –_ 0.0.0.0 localhost 3. Delete the entire line. 4. Save the
   file. 5. Access **localhost/phpmyadmin** again via your browser.
