locahost/http not found in local wireless setting

getimagesize does no longer work

[henry0]

I had no problem prior installing Comcast wireless for my home office.
to test and dev I use xampp which use to be fine.
But now locally on localhost running MySQL works
but pure http looking for localhost does not work
here is an error example.
<<<
getimagesize(http://localhost/member/member_gal/member_thumbs/tb_aaaa.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in C:\xampp\htdocs\
>>>>

What can I do short of getting back to cat5. wire connection.

Are you pulling the correct network IP? Also if you're running Windows and you've accidentally enabled IIS it will steal port 80 before Apache can start even if as a service.

Sorry, for the response delay, I had more internet problem as it locally went down.
anyway I do not understand why, but I fixed it using another route, instead of calling locahost.
<<<
getimagesize($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/aaa/bbbb/ccc/$thumb_name");
>>>
hope it might help anyone with the same annoying problem.
