This happens because your server is listening on port 8080, and not on port 80 which is the default (so when you type localhost you mean localhost:80).

So, you need to change your configuration to make WAMP listening on port 80. You find here how to do this: How to change port number for apache in WAMP.

PHP 5.4 and later have a built-in web server these days.

You simply run the command from the terminal:

cd path/to/your/app
php -S 127.0.0.1:8000

Then in your browser go to http://127.0.0.1:8000 and boom, your system should be up and running. (There must be an index.php or index.html file for this to work.)

You could also add a simple Router

<?php
// router.php
if (preg_match('/\.(?:png|jpg|jpeg|gif)_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])) {
    return false;    // serve the requested resource as-is.
} else { 
    require_once('resolver.php');
}
?>

And then run the command

php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 router.php

In general, messing with the ports that your operating system is using just seems like a bad idea. You’ll end up with weird network issues like when trying to print.

In addition, for me having two web servers (IIS running locally for .NET projects) listening on different ports was important.

The best situation was to simply change the IP Port that Apache listens on (the default is port 80, which is the standard for all web traffic).

I changed mine to port 8666 (but it could be anything above 1024). I did the following:

1. Locate the httpd.conf file in the following directory

   [install directory]\xampp\apache\conf

   (mine was in, C:\xampp\apache\conf)

2. Find the line that says, "Listen 80"

3. Change it to "Listen 8666"
4. Save and Close the file
5. Start or restart the Apache service in the XAMPP control panel.

Life should be good.

The only catch to this method is that you can’t just go to http://localhost/xampp any more. You have to tell your browser which port specifically to use (it will by default use 80), so you will have to use http://localhost:8666/xampp/ (the port is designated by the colon and then the number).

The cool thing is I can run http://localhost:8666 to run Apache and http://localhost:8616 to run my local IIS for .NET projects.

Note: XAMPP install path must NOT have special characters in it. Spaces are allowed, parentheses are NOT allowed. Other special characters have to be tested. Apache will not start if the XAMPP install path contains special characters such as parentheses.

have you tried http://localhost/logon/index.php

That's a more accurate way of accessing your file in the "logon" directory.

have you successfully completed step one of the tutorial?

it is talking about port 8888 and jetty and not port 8080 and glassfish.
