When I downloaded EasyPHP and installed it on my Windows 8 laptop, it appeared to start correctly with the EasyPHP icon in the tray, but it would not load the web pages at http://127.0.0.1
This is how I solved it:
- from your EasyPHP short cut icon, right click and select Properties
- select the “Compatibility” tab
- check “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and then select Windows 7
