I removed the /xampp directory from my document root and it still redirects to the /xampp directory whenever I attempt to access the document root for my domain. I checked in all of the files in /opt/lampp/etc/ and /extras. What do I need to change to disable this forwarding?

Delete/change the original "index.html" in htdocs and clear your browser cache.

I had this problem too... In my previous experiences with xampp, i didnt... However this one install for some reason it wouldnt stop forwarding me to the xampp directory. And I DID change the contents of index.html... Actually its .php now... And after clearing my cache (which i never even thought about) it worked.

I'm now getting this problem i have deleted the index.php file and it is still redirecting me to the xampp folder help please

I just wanted to confirm that clearing the cache is the right thing to do. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.6 on Ubuntu 7.04. Despite some vigorous apache reconfigurations, nothing was working until I blew away the cache in FIrefox. The most mystifying part of the problem is that /xampp/ appears nowhere in the various conf files.

I found this on the ubuntu forums here:

Just edit /index.html

and comment out the bolded line as below.

<html>
<head>
<meta name="author" content="Kai Oswald Seidler">
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/xampp/">

done.

This is an old thread, but I found it at the top of Google results, so I thought it worth responding as I had exactly this problem today and none of the fixes I found online seemed to work.

My installation of Xampp on Windows 7 went fine, I managed to login to the admin area for wordpress at http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin.php without any trouble, but when I went to http://localhost/wordpress/index.php was redirected to the /xampp/ folder.

I checked the setup against a working installation of Wordpress on another server and found that during installation the /wordpress/index.php file had been removed from the /wordpress directory and placed in the /htdocs directory and renamed index_2.php. There was a new index file in the /wordpress folder that was doing the redirection to /xampp.

Al I had to do to get Wordpress to work properly was to rename index.php in the /wordpress folder to "index.something-else", then copy the "index_2.php" file from the /htdocs folder to the /wordpress folder and rename it index.php.

I hope this might help others who get stuck with this problem.
