I have a similar (same?) problem: VisualEditor does not load when clicking on the "edit" tab.

This is the setup I use:

- Windows 7
- XAMPP win32-1.8.3-4-VC11
- MediaWiki (tried both REL1_23 and 1.24wmf17)
- VisualEditor (tried 1.23wmf22, 1.23wmf21, 1.24wmf17)

I tried it both with Firefox 31 and Google Chrome 36 - in both, the VisualEditor does not load from my server. (VisualEditor loads fine for example from wikimedia.org in both browsers)

I think my Parsoid is running fine. When I access port 8000, I get access to my parsoid installation, and it seems to parse html and wikicode just fine.

I tried using VisualEditor-refs_heads_wmf_1.23wmf22 and VisualEditor-refs_heads_wmf_1.23wmf21 - no change, VisualEditor does not load.

I tried using Mediawiki core-refs_heads_wmf_1.24wmf17 with VisualEditor refs_heads_wmf_1.24wmf17 - no change, VisualEditor does not load.

I do not get any error message. The access log does not show much.

Are there any debug-output, logfiles, or something like that I can access or activate? I have no idea why VisualEditor does not load, and I do not know where to look. Can this be a firewall problem? Has anybody any idea?
