i have installed mysql and now i want to work with it. but i cannt access localhost or 127.0.0.1 (i know its the same thing but i tried both). i even removed firewall and antivirus protection and commented all "skip networking" from all .ini files (im working with windows). what do i do?

Update:

what i get is :

This webpage is not available

The webpage at http://localhost/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Error 103 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED): Unknown error.

    You should have told what error message you are getting while accessing localhost, if its user related then you have to grant permission to user, if it is password related then you have to enter password in config.inc.

    You could have changed your hosts file. It have got to comprise a line as follows: 127.Zero.Zero.1 localhost (Yahoo answers will screw up the formatting of the above line, there must be a tab persona between 127.Zero.0.1 and localhost) this is what tells your pc to unravel localhost to 127.Zero.0.1 //
