So i've downloaded xampp for windows. Inside the htdocs folder I placed two sub folders. I also renamed the default index pages so I do not automatically link to them when accessing localhost/ in my web browser.
So now I have in the htdocs folder:
start.html
start.php
xampp
site1
site2
For some reason, site2 will not show up, and I can not link to it.
Also when i go to localhost/site1 I am redirected to my actual public website... I have no idea how it even knows to redirect me to my website which is even more confusing.
So what im asking is, why doesnt site2 show up in localhost
And, why cant I access the files in site1 without being redirected.
