I think this is a host-specific question. Have you spoken to your web host?

Are they services in Windows? Start-->Run-->type 'services.msc', press enter, and check to see if their status (if they are listed) says 'Started', if not start them and hit F5 in your browser.

Are you running multiple web-servers? For example I run Apache and IIS though you obviously can not run both on the same port. Since I do 99.9999999999999999% of my work with Apache I set IIS to port 8080 instead of port 80 (nice and easy to remember). You'll have to stop IIS to change the port. Additionally Apache won't start if another web server is already running on the port it's been configured to run on (port 80 by default).

Lastly have you word-for-word followed the directions of any tutorial(s)/websites that you initially installed the software by?

Also as always please make an effort to post in the correct forums so that more people who will be able to help you better will find your published threads quicker. You should see some of the other threads in this forum that you've posted in; one of them is almost nothing but single word posts! I can't imagine who'd start something crazy like that. :mrgreen:
