phpapachexampplocalhosthtdocs

Why my localhost is unable to recognize my htdocs in its directory?

I have a problem with my XAMPP server after uninstalling an old version for a new one. I have a problem with executing PHP codes because when I put "localhost/file.php" it says "Object not found" or put the PHP document despite having the Apache server on.

When I access the XAMPP directory from localhost, it's completely empty despite I stored the site in the htdocs folder. And if you ask, the xampp folder's location is C:/xampp/. And I did put an .htaccess file in my file's directory.

Here's a screenshot: my htdocs folder is not there

Solution

  • Giving localhost in the browser address bar refers to htdocs folder.

    As we can see the address as localhost/xampp i.e you are refering to htdocs/xampp

    if you have stored your file in htdocs root folder, then give the address as localhost
