Domain points to wrong location. [Solved]

Postby packetpirate » 21. September 2012 14:42

I just set up my XAMPP server after reinstalling Windows due to a hard drive failure. When I backed up my server files, I just copied EVERYTHING, all files and folders, from the htdocs folder. After I installed XAMPP and got the security stuff worked out, I went to copy the backed up htdocs files back to the new htdocs folder. Now, whenever I type in my domain name, the one that should point to the htdocs folder, because that is the default DocumentRoot, it instead gives me an error page saying "Access Forbidden", and the URL I see in my URL bar is "soandso.com/xampp", rather than just "soandso.com"

Why is it sending me to the htdocs/xampp folder?

Maybe the index.php in htdocs?

Good Luck

EDIT: That was it... it didn't get overwritten when I copied my files...

Thanks.
