Apache Friends Support Forum

hi..i have installed XAMPP successfully...but i dont know how to work with that i am newcomer of this software.can anyone suggest me please:?:

Hello and welcome prema.

What do you want to do with XAMPP?

General info:
http://httpd.apache.org/
http://www.mysql.com/
http://php.net/index.php

And as always, search this forum.

I want to create " Inventory Management System" for broadband equipments...

Oh dear, you don't like being specific do you.

You know anything about web pages? Web servers? Databases?

s i know...how to run a php program with that.i tried but it is showing error ,fr ex "server not found".wht can i do...

do you already read the readme_en.txt file in your installation directory?

Oh. XAMPP won't run?

Please give full details of what, when and how the error happens. Please give details of anything posted in the error log(s). Please search the forum. Please avoid using im-text-speak, becuase it shall help us a lot in understanding you.

i read read_en.txt in my installation directory.I save my php file in "c:\program files\xampp\security\htdocs\sample.php" and then i run the file in this path "http://localhost/sample.php",it shows the error "object not found".what can i do?

sometimes it shows the error"page cant be displayed"

Read again readme_en.txt => QUICK INSTALLATION => Step 5:
What is the correct root directory?

btw: installations of xampp deeper than your HDD-root directory (especially space-separated directory names) can produce some unexpected errors

currently i install this software in WinXp.shall i install it in windows7?

Try the Board-Search if you want to install it on Windows7
The installation, especially on Windows 7 64Bit, could be a little trickier than on Windows XP

Try putting your file in the XAMPP root directory, which depends on your installation, but I guess it is c:\program files\xampp\htdocs\. The url "http://localhost/...." points to that root directory, not "..\security\..".

This is actually what Altrea was saying. "Step 5: The root directory (main document) für HTTP(S) is => \xampp\htdocs." [..\xampp\readme_en.txt]

hi thanks a lot! i started programming in xampp.really nice

I am also a newcomer to XAMPP. What is the best way to install XAMPP? Should I just go to XAMPP.org and install the file or should I install everything separately?

Thanks
