I Installed Xampp on Windows XP but I'm Having Trouble, Plz
Posted: 03. January 2013 13:26
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here and I'm a novice webmaster but I'm hoping someone could please help me with getting xampp configured to do what I have in mind.
I have a folder on my computer which houses all of my website projects (c:\somefolder/anotherfolder/thefolderiwanttouse/) but when I open one of these files on my local machine (index,php for example) with xampp running, as well as with Apache and MySQL running and I try to preview the page in a browser, It just doesn't "Work".
Surely there's a way to do what I want (some tutorials I'm watching have everything happening from c:\xampp/htdocs but I want to be able to preview pages from c:\somefolder/anotherfolder/thefolderiwanttouse/somewebpage.php )
If anyone could so kindly point out what I need to do to enable this, I'd be most appreciative and I thank you all in advance!!
