Configuring XAMMP to allow access to everything under htdocs

[rmcape]

I'm having trouble configuring XAMMP 8.0.12 to allow access to everything under htdocs on Windows 10 from my local network for testing on mobile devices.
I've set the Windows ipaddress to 192.168.1.200.
-----------
httpd.conf

Listen 80
...
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
-----------

I can access htdocs/phpinfo.php from a phone on my local network.
I cannot access htdocs/foo/index.php from a phone on my local network.
I cannot access htdocs/foo/bar/index.php from a phone on my local network.

What am I missing to configure apache?
Thanks

Nothing. XAMPP is configured to be able to deliver htdocs/foo/index.php ( http://localhost/foo/index.php ) and htdocs/foo/bar/index.php ( http://localhost/foo/bar/index.php )
Maybe there is a subrequest in your script or a redirect that is wrong.
What is the contents of your Apache access.log?

Can you access the same folders from the localhost?
Where did you create /public folder?
Where did you create /worldibles folder?

Do you have an index.php in the requested folders (i.e. htdocs/public/deu/index.php)? And how did you create index.php?

As you see, the error 404 is the followup of a status 300, that means a redirect. Your script does a redirect to a file which cannot be accessed.

Thanks for your help.

I added this to the httpd.conf:
Listen 192.168.1.200:8000

I can successfully connect to that.
It's kind of weird.
I can connect to localhost:8000/worldbibles and then I get a listing of the directories under that.
I can click on worldbibles/public and then I get a listing of the directories under that.
Than I click on worldbibles/public/eng/ and then the index.php displays like it's supposed to.
After this manual descent, I can access all the pages correctly.

I created all of this using Visual Studio Code. This site supports 60 UI languages and pulls information from MariaDB. All of this works using localhost without any problems. It was just trying to test things on mobile devices on the same network. I've also tested this with a Kindle Fire and an iPad Air. The same behavior repeats.

I don't understand why my initial attempts to display the worldbibles/public/eng/index.php using the full path gave me a 404 but after manually descending, the full path then works.
Anyway, thanks for helping.

Sounds like you do not have an index.php or index.html in those folders. Some web servers will show a directory listing in that case. Some will not. A lot depends on the configuration, and in this case that would be apache.

But this all happens on your Xampp PC. What about your iPhone, connecting to 192.168.1.200:8000?

The iPhone, iPad, and Kindle Fire all can access the intended locations following the descending approach.

There is an index.php in all of the different subsites.
