Apache Friends Support Forum

I installed XAMPP correctly, and everything is working when I vew the status window in the xampp control panel.

However, any time I change my document root to where my website is stored, it says it cannot find the "/xampp/" directory. The only page that apache will display is the control panel for xampp. I can't actually get it to host my actual website.

Help?

I got the same exact issue , I don't recall in the past having this much problem. I am using fedora core 5 with the latest xampp 153a , trying to config oscommerce

Just delete or rename /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.html

Create /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php with in it:

Code: Select all

<?php
header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */

/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

according to: http://ch2.php.net/header

It will also possible to edit this ligne of /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.html :

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/xampp/">

and change the /xampp/ to your wondered location...

BE SURE TO CLEAN UP YOUR CACHE BEFORE, you can also try to restart lampp...
