You might have changed your port number from default port number. Open with the port number that apache server is listening. In your browser give "localhost:portNumber/WordPress" Example: localhost:80/wordpress or localhost:8080/wordpress or localhost:8081/wordpress. You Can check your port number from apache part config file. Watch this video: [this video]

I would like to give a short remark because this question is associated with another common question -- "XAMPP Port 80 in use by “Unable to open process” with PID 4 [duplicate]" [LINK] Given that the common solution for the previous question is Now it avoids Port 80 and uses Port 8080 instead without issue. The only additional thing you need to do is make sure to put localhost:8080 in the browser so the browser knows to look on Port 8080. Otherwise it defaults to Port 80 and won't find your local site. the exact number to be specified in your browser is [LINK] rather than [LINK] .
