Hi
Near the end of the video the instructor deletes xampp from the address bar and only leaves http://localhost/. This does not work for me. My address bar only has localhost/xampp/ and I cannot add the http://.
The XAMPP logo does not appear in the address bar at the top of the page. When I click it and go to connection, it says "the identity of this website has not been verified". Maybe this is why it is not working?
Thank you very much for your help.

529 PointsIn the lesson the instructor removed the "xampp/" from the address bar to get to localhost and see his test.php file, but that didn't work for me. What I had to do was remove "xampp/" and add "test.php/" (the test php file that we created). Then I was able to see the test.php file.
