What items are in htdocs when installed?

Postby ichi » 23. December 2017 19:47

I created a new project called SetupTest using NetBeans 8.2, under php>php application. But I accidentally set the Sources Folder to:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs directory instead of /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/SetupTest.

I would like to remove what ever made during the process of creating the new project,
So I wondered if you can tell me what htdocs contents originally. So I won't remove those items.

At the moment, when I see index.php, it says that
"Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-("
I presumed it could be be something to do with the source folder setting.
(well, at least I can make it straight so if it is nothing to do with the source folder set, I can eliminate the possibility)

I am new to both NetBeans and Xampp.

Well, alternatively I can just remove XAMPP then install it again...
Thank you in advance.

XAMPP: 7.0.26-0 from https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html.
OSX: 10:13:2
php: 7.0.26_18
Xdebug: 2.4.0

That usually happens when you open the file index.php directly from your file system, instead via localhost. Dont click twice on index.php or similar, instead enter http://localhost/index.php into your browser.

http://localhost/index.php
It doesn't work. It must be something to do with htdoc preset or something.

"Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(" is in actual index.php file.

it looks like this.

<?php
if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
$uri = 'https://';
} else {
$uri = 'http://';
}
$uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
header('Location: '.$uri.'/dashboard/');
exit;
?>
Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(

So it's primary configuration (I think).

I created another project within htdocs holder, it perfectly fine and works.
So back to the question, what does htdocs folder originally contents?

That means your installation is corrupted, the PHP code (which you are seeing) is not interpreted by PHP. This either means PHP has not been activated (dont know how to do that) or you have a .htaccess file in htdocs which sets wrong Content Type for PHP files. Maybe a line like "AddType *.php ...." is inside a .htaccess file.

I dont know how you achieved that, you must have copied something into the folder. I think a fresh install is the best option for you. I dont know the original content of htdocs folder, as i have no OSX version.
