Apache Friends Support Forum

I installed Xampp on an external drive L. The installation finished without a problem.
I installed a Joomla-site (restore with Akeeba). No problem.

From the home/mainmenu of the site, i want to call some other sitepages, but every time the xampp-mainpage appears instead of one of the site-pages.
What went wrong and how to correct this error?
please help thanks
pgas.

The specific entry of such a subpage request in your \xampp\apache\logs\access.log would give you and us more information about whats going on there.
Maybe it is a wrong setted base url parameter in Joomla or a misleading .htaccess rewrite or something like that.

this is a part of the access logfile, calling the page "werkwijze". Is this helpfull?

paul

the pages return links probably point to index.php in the DocumentRoot of the primary URL - which is now the XAMPP redirect page

Good Luck

thanks for your answer, but i am no xammp expert. I do not understand your answer.

Its not a XAMPP issue is what I am telling you.

Look at the links that are being generated

From the home/mainmenu of the site, i want to call some other sitepages, but every time the xampp-mainpage appears instead of one of the site-pages.

that is because, almost assuredly, the Joomla links are calling "/index.php?action=" or something of that nature. AND, by default, in XAMPP the 'index.php' in the root of XAMPP redirects the user to /xampp/index.php (which is the XAMPP Welcome Page.)

The fix is a matter of either 'placing' Joomla in the root of htdocs or finding the URL redirect, either in Joomla or on your site if Joomla was not set up in the root on your live server. Most CMS's or Blog scripts use their primary URL (http://www.youflippingdomain.net/index.php - for instance) to create script actions. The index page of the script is effectively a command processor. You can see how it works by watching the URL's as Joomla does things. HOW it is fixed is specific to the CMS or Blogging software.

The right answer here is a matter of two things - Understanding what your setup is/was and learning how Joomla creates its URLs.

Try a Google on 'Joomla URL' or read visit Joomla's site or Forums

Good Luck
