I just installed xampp for my production. Yes yes yes I read that xampp is not for production. But I want to use it!

I am using it on my own server.

Now I got a domain name and want to use it. I don't want to have something like this http://www.mydomainname.com/xampp/mywebsite

It should be http://www.mydomainname.com

How can I achieve this?
What do I need to change?

Thanks.

Put your files in "\xampp\htdocs", and not in "\xampp\htdocs\xampp\mywebsite".

Thanks.
But what is this folder for by the way?
\xampp\htdocs\xampp\

Why xampp is in the xampp\htdocs ??

But what is this folder for by the way?
\xampp\htdocs\xampp\

That's the XAMPP demopage, new user can see after installation of XAMPP and going to the URL "http://localhost/"

Put your files in "\xampp\htdocs", and not in "\xampp\htdocs\xampp\mywebsite".

I am using xampp for my development as well.
When I go to local host, I always get xampp's home page, even I have many applications in my xampp\htdocs.

I have no problem doing this for my development on my laptop, but I don't know what to do for production, this is the first time for me.

I have a domain name http://www.mydomain.org and I am going to put Moodle which has http://moodle.mydomain.org

And later I need to put some CMS in xampp.

If I put 5 applications, what will it happen?


Thanks for your help.

When I go to local host, I always get xampp's home page

In the file "\xampp\htdocs\index.php" is a redirect to the XAMPP demopage. Just delete this page.

but I don't know what to do for production,

IMHO a question for your administrator...

If I put 5 applications, what will it happen?

That's your decision.

You can put each application in a different subdir and acces it with "http://server/app1/", "http://server/app2/", ... (without any configuration changes.

And/or you can define different vhosts and dirs for each application and access them with "http://app1.server/", "http://app2.server/", ...

In the file "\xampp\htdocs\index.php" is a redirect to the XAMPP demopage. Just delete this page.

How can I access to Xampp home page if I need to?
For example accessing to phpmyadmin in order to create a database.

What does IMHO mean?

Thanks.

http://localhost/xampp/

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

IIRC there is a index.htm(l) as well to be deleted or modified ....

Ok I have deleted htdocs/index.php and replaced it with index.php of Moodle. And I put all the Moodle files under htdocs not htdocs/moodle.

So I could install it successfully and website is working with http://moodle.mydomai.org

And I am able to access http://moodle.mydomain.org/phpmyadmin.

But I am not able to access http://moodle.mydomain.org/xampp. I tried http://moodle.mydomain.org/xampp/index.php as well but I am not able to access either.

Help Please.

But I am not able to access http://moodle.mydomain.org/xampp

Why not?
--> error message / error.log?

How can I get the error log?

Thanks.

How can I restart xampp through FTP? Can I do it?

Can I do it?

No.

I am not able to access http://mydomain.org/xampp/index.php

Why not

I don't know.

I installed CMS Moodel under htdocs.
I am not able to transfer files through FTP either.

Is it something to do with Moodle?
Or server firewall?

I experimented the same thing with my laptop. I can access to xampp, but I am not able to access other CMS under htdocs.

Help.
