I've already tried messing with the virtual hosts and it didn't work out for me.

Id like to be able to set "http://localhost/phpbb2/" or any other html page i make as the default page when you type in http://"ip-adress" instead of having the xampp page come up.

All and any help appreciated.

to set "http://localhost/phpbb2/"

Put the phpBB files into the directory "\xampp\htdocs\phpbb2" (create first this directory).

as the default page when you type in http://"ip-adress"

With this URI you must put the html files from your default page into the directory "\xampp\htdocs" (delete first the existing files in this directory).

Thank you very much!

and also if u want it just to be http://IPADDRESS/ go into htdocs and open index.php and you will see this:

Code: Select all

<?php
   if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
      $uri = 'https://';
   } else {
      $uri = 'http://';
   }
   $uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
   header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');
   exit;
?>
Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(

Change it to:

Code: Select all

<?php
   if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
      $uri = 'https://';
   } else {
      $uri = 'http://';
   }
   $uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
   header('Location: '.$uri.'/phpbb2/');
   exit;
?>

If you don't specify a file, the server will look for an file named index in the specified directory and server that page.

So you can also simply replace the index.php file with your sites homepage.
