Maybe you should explain more detailed what you want to see and not what you all don't want to see.

Inside your \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf you should fine a line like this

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">

inside this Directory Block you should have a line beginning with Options.
In this line remove the word Indexes, save the file and restart Apache.

Can I change the text what I see now below now:
I mean which file to edit to change the text?

repeating your post (pushing threads in general) will NOT result in quicker responses. The opposite is the truth.

The Apache manual knows the answer: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/custom-error.html
