API Error: EspoCRM API is unavailable - XAMPP installation

[foxy99]

Hello,

So there is my problem. Maybe i'm just overlooking something since i'm a noob. I'm trying to install EspoCRM on localhost using XAMPP.
My rewrite module is active (checked phpinfo + tried it as well). I didn't modify .htaccess of EspoCRM.

I also have AllowOverride All for <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs"> in my httpd.config.
My XAMPP/PHP version is 8.2.12. I checked some of the installation guides available on YT but none of them ever faced this problem.
EspoCRM main directory is totally default: C:\xampp\htdocs\EspoCRM

Any help, idea?

In the Apache configuration file, search for the line:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
and remove the # at the beginning.

Yes I did that (actually there is no need for that - this module is loaded by default). As I mentioned in my first post - I checked it and it works.
