I've had no problem installing xampp, everything appears to be working. In fact I have installed and reinstalled xampp aaround 15 imes this week - and it still does not work.
I have tried for over a week to overcome the dreaded "Oops! This link appears to be broken" when I attempt to access a php file.
The php file is named karma.php and is a folder within htdocs named "test"
I inserted the php file in the xampp/htdocs file, the browser address shows as "http://localhost/xampp/test/karma.php"
The response in the error.log file is "[error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/test"
I have also noticed that on my computer, within the xampp/htdocs folder there is anothe xampp folder with an htdocs folder within. In other words C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\htdocs.
There are no files within the final htdocs folder. The php file I constructed is in the first htdocs folder.
Judging by the amount of research I have carried out, the broken link seems to be a very common problem, and having spent an inordinate amount of (wasted) time, no one appears to have a solution.
My OS is Vista.
Does anyone have a solution or any ideas about how to get a fix on this? Or is xampp just a very unstable (albeit free) program?
Thanks in advance for any response
