Why when I enter the address http://localhost/ it opens only the xampp page and it doesn't open my index.html which is in the /opt/lampp/htdocs directory ? How can I change that ?

I got the same exact issue , I don't recall in the past having this much problem. I am using fedora core 5 with the latest xampp 153a , trying to config oscommerce

If you're talking about the default index.html, then it's refreshing to the index of the xampp directory. Take a look at the 2nd meta tag. You can remove that and it won't switch to the xampp page.

Code: Select all: <html> <head> <meta name="author" content="Kai Oswald Seidler"> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/xampp/"> </head> <body bgcolor=#ffffff> </body> </html>

Just delete or rename /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.html

Create /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.php with in it:

Code: Select all: <?php header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */ /* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */ exit; ?>

according to: http://ch2.php.net/header

It will also possible to edit this ligne of /opt/lampp/htdocs/index.html :

Code: Select all: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=/xampp/">

and change the /xampp/ to your wondered location...

BE SURE TO CLEAN UP YOUR CACHE BEFORE, you can also try to restart lampp...

I cannot stop the refresh to localhost/xampp. I have even deleted the index.html file so there is no index at all in htdocs, what else could be forcing localhost to goto localhost/xampp?

Perhaps in your httpd.conf (opt/lampp/etc/ I guess) in the virtualhost part... but normaly is should works with the upper tricks

I couldn't find anything in config. So I went back to lampp 1.51 and now everything works correct.

I had this same issue just now. I clear my cache and it worked fine there on. Prehaps thats the issue you had.
