[FIXED] Localhost or phpMyAdmin not found on server: How to fix?

Issue

I followed installation instruction for PHP, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin. But when I tried to access http://localhost/phpmyadmin/, I got this error:

"Not Found The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this server.".

Then I tried to access just the localhost, still I got same error.
How can i fix this problem?

I'm using windows 7 (if this problem has something to do with that)

Solution

There really isn't enough information to be able to give you a reasonable answer.

First check that your Apache is running. Goto your start menu and type services.msc into the text field.

Fairly high towards the top of the screen you will see ApacheX.X

See what the status of the service is. Try double-clicking on the Apache service and pressing Start if the service isn't running. If it has troubles starting you will get a message telling you the service couldn't be started.
