Hi Guys,
I installed a new MyBB_1807 on Postgres on Windows 7.
I configured the Forum URL to be
http://localhost
When I try to log in to administration panel I get redirected to: e:/admin/index.php
and my browser gives me this error:
"The address wasn't understood"
Any help would be appreciated.
Please have a look at the common errors Docs page:

You're correct. There's no mention of this kind of an error there.
What software/stack are you using to host your local install?

I use manually installed Apache 2.4 with fcgid and PHP 7.08 from
http://apachelounge.com/ , and Postgres 9.3. All on windows 7.
My stack seem to work because I just successfully installed punBB.
I suspect that the error is somehow related to the fact that the stack is installed on drive E: because during installation of MyBB, in the step where we enter the forum name and URL, the default forum URL has and "E:" appended to the end and is displayed like this: "http://localhostE:" . Also the default cookie path points to E:\ However whether I leave the url as it is or change it to
http://localhost, in either case my admin login redirects me to e:/admin/index.php
It is worth noting that if I set the forum URL to
http://localhost then the forum index page displays fine but only admin login redirects to e:/admin/index.php.
I recommend you uninstall any installations of LAMP stack from your machine, and install a fresh copy of XAMPP.
Once completed, restart your machine - then initiate Apache & MySQL from the XAMPP control panel, ensuring no other applications are utilising that port simultaneously (so close any applications like skype, spotify etc)
Then install a fresh copy of MyBB 1.8 on your fresh stack.
If any other issues persist, please inform us.

Please note in my initial post. that I'm using Postgres. Xampp doesn't come with Postgress.
Also, I would prefer to find the problem rather than blindly uninstall and reinstall something hoping that it will help.
But thank you for your suggestion.
I solved the problem.
The FCGID section of Apache was configured for another project that I was working on and that configuration caused the redirection issue.
