Xampp 404 object not found error [solved]

[swingle]

I've looked through pages and pages and have this problem...

ports are clear.

this is the error I'm thrown when I try to access the files I have in my htdocs file
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

localhost

Apache/2.2.12 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.12 OpenSSL/0.9.8k mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0

this is from my error log.

[Mon Mar 19 20:43:44 2012] [error] [client ::1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/form_with_includes
[Mon Mar 19 20:43:44 2012] [error] [client ::1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/favicon.ico

this is what provoked such error
http://localhost/xampp/form_with_includes

I've used both Firefox and Chrome

The file does exist, The bit there about the favicon.ico makes no sense because I'm only looking for the index file that lives in that form_with_includes file.

Hi swingle,

If your form_with_includes folder is saved directly in htdocs the correct URL will be http://localhost/form_with_includes

best wishes,
