I recently installed a local webserver (XAMPP) so I could work with the Laravel PHP framework. I successfully installed xampp and changed the Apache httpd.conf to listen to port 8080.

I also managed to get Laravel up and running: enter image description here

But I noticed I couldn't connect to the database, the page would just load forever without showing me any errors. Same thing when I ran this simple code: 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$host = 'localhost:8080';
$name = 'test';
$user = 'root';
$pass = '';

mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pass, $name) or die ("Oops");

This happens when I start Apache:

In the Apache error log I found this:

[Mon Sep 22 14:47:29.969486 2014] [ssl:warn] [pid 5044:tid 388] AH01909: www.example.com:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name

I think this is the reason that I can't connect to the database. But I can't seem to figure it out. I've searched a lot before asking this question. I hope somebody could help me out.

    `$host = 'localhost:8080';` should be `$host = 'localhost:3306';` – Steve Sep 22 '14 at 13:16
  • Thank you so much, it works! Tried everything except that I guess. So what is up with the Apache error log? Or should I ignore that? – JasonK Sep 22 '14 at 13:23
  • Yes, you can just ignore that, the issue is with the xampp control panel and not apache. Im sure you could fix it, but you really dont need to. – Steve Sep 22 '14 at 13:25
