Hello there.
On my computer (offline) I successfully installed a Joomla 2.5 Website.
When I try to view the Site through my Browser I rather get a error,
as http://localhost/mysite/ redirects to www.localhost.com/mysite/
Can anyone explain to me what the solution to this is?
Thanks in advance.

it sounds like you don't have your webserver services running ?

check you webserver is using port 80.
Also check you hosts file has 127.0.0.1 pointing at localhost (on windows it's in c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts).
What happens if you use 127.0.0.1?

Mr T, I'm grateful for your attention.
After making several trials in various directions, I discovered that the trick lies with my XAMPP version. Actually, I've been using XAMPP 1.7.0, MEANWHILE - as I can deduce, Joomla 2.5 Templates work best with XAMPP 1.8.2 +
XAMPP 1.7.0 has PHP 5.2 INSTEAD of PHP 5.4
I hope this would help someone somewhere.
Onceagain, THANKS
