Problem with XAMPP

I just started the installation video and followed the instructions to the letter. I got the server installed but in the last part of the video, where you replace test.php in this path localhost/xampp, so you have localhost/test.php, when you refresh the browser you get a 404 error.

Also the part of the video where you just put localhost in your browser and press enter, I get bounced back to localhost/xampp NOT the view that you are supposed to get in the video.

I cant get past that and its frustrating when you want to move ahead.
