Hello All -

After fighting five nights with WAMP for multiple site set up I installed XAMPP. Getting a brand new error. Trying to call up a site set up under drupal/sites I get "Page not found" in Drupal.

I followed these instructions: http://drupal.org/node/137490

I have the folder structure set up correctly, I added virtual hosts and additional IP address to the correct files. Any insight to this XAMPP error?

Here is the post from my WAMP errors: http://drupal.org/node/496964

Thanks
Kecia

Hi
I do not know about those instructions, but I know it is easy to install Xampp & run sites on it. I have done that countless times.
Take a look at http://drupal.org/node/481750 & http://drupal.org/node/279604

I suspect may be at least Apache and probably MySql where not running.
When installing Xampp, you were prompted to install them as a service, so they start with Windows. Did you do so?
If not, did you start them manually?
If you go to http://localhost, does is it lead you to the Xampp start page?
If you get an error, it means Apache is not running, most likely.

Is your Drupal folder in "htdocs" folder of Xampp?

If that is not the case, ... how far did you go? At what point did the error appear?

If you have another instance of Apache, probably through another installation, such as WAMP, you have to disable or uninstall it or the Xampp Apache will not start & run.

The info here is specifically referring to running a single Drupal site. For the part involving multiple sites, please refer to other sources, as I have not done anything like that.
So if none of this applies to you, please just ignore this. ;)
