I just installed xampp and I have two problems. The main problem is when I try to connect with any of my browsers to http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/mywebsite. I get a error 404 and it said that "The requested URL was not found on this server If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again". First I was trying to set this up in Dreamweaver under site management page in the testing server http:// located near the bottom of the page. But I also tested the http://localhost/xampp/htdocs and http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/mywebsite in the browser address window and get the same error.
What I can get is when I enter http://localhost/xampp only I get the Xampp Welcome page and I have been able to setup security, phpMyAdmin, even import the dreamweaver sample "feeback" database into MySql, because I am trying to learn how to build dynamic pages in Dreamweaver.The main problem is the server can never locate mywebsite in the htdocs folder nor can it find the htdocs folder in the xampp folder. Can someone please help me with this problem?
My 2nd problem is that I am unable to stop the Apache and/or MySql from the xampp control panel. Both indicate Running all of the time. This problem might have something to do with the first but not sure. I have not reinstalled xampp yet I just wanted to get some respond first please.
Thanks
Jim
