Localhost problem with xampp

I recently had to reinstall xampp on my computer and now my Preview function in Dreamweaver CC is not working, When I try to use it I her this message:

It looks like the webpage at https://localhost/newMHMGC/Secure-Signup-Sheet4.php might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

I have not moved anything. I configures xampp to load as a service on system boot and it is running.

 

Any ideas?

    Turns out that in my locat testing site in Dreamweaver on the advanced tab I had selecte PHP MySQL. Wrong! Needs to be "None". That fixed it.

     

    Thanks all for the comments!

    I know mine has all kinds of problems if I don't start it with Run As Administrator, even though my user account has full Admin rights, something doesn't get run correctly if I don't right click and make the selection.

    Have you checked what port number Xampp is using? Normally its 80 l think, so try localhost:80/ or localhost:8080/

     

    You can find what port is being used by opening the Xampp application, of course your issue might be something different.

    If I open the control panel for xampp for Apache it says 80,443 and for MySQL it says 3306

    MySql 3306 default sounds right, not sure about Apache, never seen it as 80,443 before
