I am working on a XAMPP local server.
My localhost turns localhost.com. When I run my localhost in browser for ex (localhost/projects/test) the url turns www.localhost.com/projects/test.

1That sounds like something your browser (Firefox does this) is doing. Instead of typing `localhost`, use `http://localhost`. Or via IP `http://127.0.0.1` – Michael Berkowski Sep 24 '12 at 13:23

Are you using .htaccess? – David Sep 24 '12 at 13:23

This has nothing to do with php and xampp; it's simply your browser. – Alxandr Sep 24 '12 at 13:23

If you're working on a computer running the Mac Mountain Lion OS (10.8), Apple made changes in this version of the OS that have caused problems for some, and you'll need to change some of your computer's settings to get localhost working properly. This page provides a good walkthrough on how to make localhost work again.
