localhost takes me to IIS Windows

XAMPP is active but when I go onto the web, it redirects me to IIS Windows server not XAMPP. How do I fix this?

Disable it IIS :) there is no reason to install it or have it installed and i think IIS is just for Windows SERVER

  • In Windows, access the Control Panel and click Add or Remove Programs.
  • In the Add or Remove Programs window, click Add/Remove Windows Components.
  • Select the Internet Information Services (IIS) uncheck box, click Next, then click Finish.
