Re: [PHP-INSTALL] Cannot run http://localhost/hello.php or http://127.0.0.1/hello.php

Hello,

Just a guess, but I think you may be missing a definition for your document
root in your web server configuration.  There's usually a default one in
the original config file, but you'll need to edit it to point to your
C:\xampp directory.
