Apache/2.4.52 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1m PHP/8.1.4 Server at localhost Port 80

Question

I am not able to open the localhost/wordpress or localhost:80/wordpress. As soon as i search, it shows "Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server. Apache/2.4.52 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1m PHP/8.1.4 Server at localhost Port 80". I redownloaded the wordpress file and placed it in the htdocs but nothing happened. I also tried installing JDK and JRE files but nothing happened. The TOMCAT server is also not working in XAMPP, It shows "Problem detected: Tomcat Not Found. Disabling Tomcat buttons Run this program from your XAMPP root directory.". I am stuck at this point and don't know what to do next.

I am trying to open the localhost/wordpress to practice the website development on wordpress and I've never done it before.

Despite my earlier comment that you haven't provided enough information, I'm going to take one wild guess: you say you "downloaded the wordpress file and placed it in the htdocs". Wordpress doesn't consist of one file, it consists of a whole directory of different files.

So my wild guess is that you've downloaded a zip file, which is a way of putting a whole bunch of files in one, and missed the word "unzip" in theinstallation instructions . You need to open the zip file and copy the contents to your htdocs folder.
