Apache Friends Support Forum

I've just installed XAMPP and was wondering where I place my docs (HTML, PHP etc) to view from the localhost?

They go in the htdocs folder

I've tried that but im getting an error:

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
localhost

Apache/2.2.6 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.6 OpenSSL/0.9.8e mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.4

Localhost works fine

For more detail on this error look in the Apache error.log file:
xampp\apache\logs\error.log

How are you calling your file in the browser:
http://localhost/myfile.html
or
http://localhost/mywebsite/myfile.html
etc.

Browser: http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/SSNName.html

File location: C:\xampp\htdocs\SSNName.html

Error Log: [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/htdocs

Thanks that really helped!

Cheers

Looks like you're all fix, but just for your information:

Try http://localhost/SSNName.html

Apache already knows where C:\xampp\htdocs\ is. The http address only needs the path _below_ that.

EDIT: Why didn't I see that Izzy had already posted that?!? Maybe my slightly different angle might help someone.
