I have had EasyPHP running on my system, but had to do a clean OS reinstall. Just downloaded and installed EasyPHP again, and Apache is running. But when I try to access the administrative page (127.0.0.1/home) through my web browser I get a "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 127.0.0.1" error.

I checked Apache's httpd file and it says it is listening on 127.0.0.1:80, which is exactly how I am trying to access the admin page through the browser. For some reason howver I am able to access the www folder with 127.0.0.1:8887.

I'm not very knowledgeable on EasyPHP so any help would be appreciated.

I had the same issue which was resolved by running the EasyPHP executable with admin privileges.

Update: I avoid installing EasyPHP into the Program Files folder and never had this issue again.
