Sorry I should have explained better!
I already see the welcome page and the list to the left with Welcome, Status, Security and so on.
I have no problem getting that page. I have used
https://127.0.0.1 or
https://localhost.
My problem is I created a folder within xampp and htdocs called myphp. xampp/htdocs/myphp and files within that directory called index, login, member, logout and register all php extensions. When I check the status it says MySQL database ACTIVATED
PHP ACTIVATED
HTTPS (SSL) ACTIVATED
Common Gateway Interface (CGI) ACTIVATED
Server Side Includes (SSI) ACTIVATED
But if I type in the browser url:
http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/ or
http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/ myphp/register.php Instead of giving me the index of htdocs or the output on the browser of the register.php page I get:
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

I must be messing up somewhere but where I don't know. This is the first time I have used xampp and it's driving me mad. If I use my online server the php files work fine.
