http://localhost/xampp/ is default

[davea1958]

Installed xammp 1.7.3 to Windows 7.

When I type "http://localhost" into my Internet Exploder browser the URL changes to "http://localhost/xampp/". Then it shows the "xampp for windows status page.

My C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file has these two lines.
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">

How do I get xammp to start in c:\xampp\htdocs and not in c:\xammp\htdocs\xammp?

In your htdocs folder is an index.php file.
This file does the redirect.

You can delete, change, rename... the file. Whatever you want to do with it.

Thank You! I thought I had looked at it. I must have looked at the index.html file instead. DOH!
