I had a server crash and installed the latest version of XAMPP on Ubuntu. I have a sister server that is the live working website. It works fine. If you put in the URL it goes to htdocs and pulls up the index.php file I've placed there.
However on the new server I've got an issue. When I put in it's URL it wants to go to the xampp directory. The work around was to redirect from the index.php page in the xampp directory. That worked. I need the favorites icon I created but still keep getting the orange XAMPP icon. Basically the URL defaults to the xampp directory.
I've looked at the httpd.conf and the virtual hosts config file. I didn't change anything in the virtual hosts file. I even did a line by line comparison of the functioning server and the new server's config files. They match. I'm not sure what the issue is and I'm at my wits end. I've Googled around and find little information of value.
Anybody have ANY thoughts?
Basically I want to type in the URL, it pull up the index.php file in the root directory of htdocs and display the correct favorites icon. I could care less about the xampp directory or it's contents.
Anybody with some helpful insight gets the gold star for today.
