XAMPP 3.2.2 on Windows 7 64 bit - Short file names

Hello,

I am running XAMPP 3.2.2 on a windows 7 64 bit system. My directories have the file names shortened.
I have looked through the config file and could not see anything that looked like it is doing this.

Is there anyone who knows a way that I could stop this from happening? Having the full file names would greatly
help me with my current project.

Thank you all for your time.
Trent

There is no Xampp 3.2.2, the current Xampp release is either 7.x (with PHP7) or 5.x (with PHP5).

Can you give an example where and how you realize the shortened filename? In which context do you realize short file names? For example, if i put a file abcdefghijkl.html into the htdocs folder, i have to enter http://localhost/abcdefghijkl.html into the Browser in order to view the file. Doesnt that work on your PC?

If I add an music artists folder to my directory and then browse to the folder so I can see the index of the mp3's in the directory
I do not see the entire file name.

Here is what I would like it to look like, this is not my server and I honestly do not know what it is running.

Hi,

This screenshot shows only one component of the XAMPP bundle. v3.2.2 is just the version name of this single component named "XAMPP control panel".
This specific version of the control panel is used in many XAMPP releases so it does not give any information about the used XAMPP bundle version.

To get information where to find the correct XAMPP version number please read the following thread: [Q&A] Insufficient debug information - base information

To configure the width of the name, you can set the NameWidth directive in your Apache mod_autoindex configuration: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/m ... dexoptions
