Win 8.1 64bit, simple zip install doesn't work on XAMPP or WAMP

Subject says it all ... tried most recent XAMPP / WAMP install (both confirmed working with simple phpinfo() tests). Extracted grav .zip to /htdocs (XAMPP, for example), hit localhost/grav/ and unable to load page. Same results with WAMP.

Are you getting an error? If so what is the error? Perhaps a screenshot? Are you running PHP 5.4?

I tried the latest default install of XAMPP and WAMP, which both run PHP 5.5. I created simple phpinfo() tests in /htdocs and /www respectfully, both worked fine. Unzipped grav into /htdocs and /www respecfully and both show unable to load page, no PHP errors (confirmed startup errors and display errors on with E_ALL).

A blank page? nothing is displayed at all? We're testing it now.

Hello there. I just downloaded WAMP on a 64-bit Windows 8.1 machine and went through the steps listed. Here's what I discovered.

Windows adds an additional folder layer on extraction, so if you have a folder within a folder, you may need to move the second folder to the /www directory, then rename it and try it that way.

I'm not sure why Windows does this, but it worked for me.

Nope, c:\xampp\htdocs\grav contains grav (index.php, assets/bin/cache folder, etc.). If I hit localhost/grav, no workey.

Nothing tricky here. Default install of xampp. Default intsall of grav. XAMPP confirmed working fine. grav doesn't load. see 3 screenshots.

This is really strange. Here is a screenshot from my system. I'm running WAMP 2 (just downloaded to test this situation) Grav

Zero config changes. Default everything.

I just pulled in series the latest release of xampp/wamp/ and grav and did nothing but an unzip on default installs. shrug

If you drop info.php into your htdocs/grav does it display? The thing is your not even hitting grav at all.

can you try http://localhost/grav/index.php ?

No problem at all, it's an exciting looking project! I wanted to play with it, but :(!!

If I were you I would suspect a wonky configed XAMPP or WAMP, but these were both fresh installs, followed by a simple grav unzip. To rule out other weirdness I tried an install of prestashop, worked fine.

Here's a weird test. If you rename index.php to test.php and hit it directly, does anything happen?
