I suggest you to use WAMP instead...
I can also help you with WAMP because I am WAMP user!

Enter your XAMPP directory (likely C:\xampp) and inside it you'll find a directory named htdocs. That's your Apache document root and where you need to place files to be accessed via your browser.
If you're still getting an error when accessing your local server (http://localhost) then check these three things:
1. Ensure Apache is running
2. If it is running then check to make sure your document root is still set to its default location. Go into C:\xampp\apache\conf (or wherever you have XAMPP located) and open httpd.conf. Inside look for the following:
Code:
# DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve yourLook at the value given to the DocumentRoot directive. Ensure you are placing your files inside that directory.
3. If the DocumentRoot is valid and Apache is running: open the error log (C:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log) and read off the latest entry. That should point you in the right direction.

Exactly as Disease said,
if u would still have problems also disable ur firewall and make a portforward to port 80 tcp/udp.

Lol NO. Do not disable your firewall. Just make an exception to allow through that port.

Let's say you have index.php, place it inside htdocs and then navigate to "localhost/index.php" within your web browser. Should work fine.
