trying to remember.....
 

not sure why you changed the default port for the db but if memory fails me correctly the default port is 3306, to change the default port in localhost

do the following to change the port number. Hope this will help you.

1. Stop the XAMPP server, if it is running already.
2. Open the file [XAMPP Installation Folder]/apache/conf/httpd.conf.
3. Now search for the string Listen 80 (I’m assuming that your XAMPP was using the port 80. Otherwise, just search for the string “Listen”). This is the port number which XAMPP uses. Change this 80 to any other number which you prefer.
4. Then search for the string “ServerName” and update the port number there also.
5. Now save and re-start XAMPP server and you are done.

Why would you change the default port on localhost? Do you not trust your wife and think she will hack your db?:lol:

Bump with no big fat woman..Just was reading up on the ports, you may run into a conflict with instant messaging software, skype seems to be leading the list in that port range.

lol
 

dont be shy get yourself cheap hosting/vps to playaround with and save the hassle of redoing your site twice on local then live and its a pain in the ass when your using a router:war:

hmm...
 

yes, i can see that its easier with a vps... but the only problem i has right now is that i cannot affort it and i dont have money right now,

orr yes... but i dont have so many so i can affort it right now.

unless someone orr somfthing is going to help me out with that part... :/...

EDIT: But i must say... i have thinked of it often... to buy one soon and then just edit on the server... in anyways... thanks for the help darkz... will try this...

free host

no ads, you get to use a real domain not some sub domain they create, (though you do have that option) Close to the real thing with none of the free hosting giveaways like most others have.

Would be OK for testing I think, not even sure whats on their servers. But with 1.5gb of space I wouldn't go nuts and try to open a tracker there.

For just testing out then install VMWare of something on Windows and then load up a copy of Linux and install a LAMP and away you go :ok:

what?
 

What the hell are you talking about :unknown:

http://www.hostinger.es/hosting-gratis and they dont close your account if u put a tracker or a vbulletin , like 000webhost
doing

Thanks...
