XAMPP Localhost ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

Question

I am using XAMPP on MAC. It has been working for a few months. I was using Port 80 and Port 89 for a Virtual Host.

I haven't done anything recently (maybe the problem comes from the fact that I am connected to a public Wi-Fi... that is the only difference), but it has stopped working. When I go to localhost/, my browser shows : ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.

Nothing looks wrong on the Application Log...

Do you have any idea which could help me ?

Thanks a lot !

You can ping localhost in Terminal, or you can view it in /etc/hosts. Make sure the Apache is listening to port 80. — Raptor

Thank you, I found that the localhost line disappeared from /etc/hosts, I added this line : 127.0.0.1 localhost and now it works, thanks a lot ! — 4br3mm0rd

As mentioned in comment, localhost is not mapped to 127.0.0.1. After added the entry 127.0.0.1 localhost in /etc/hosts, the XAMPP works fine.
