I need to change/rearrange a website built by a developer I don't have contacts to, but I'm having a problem with setting up the local test server.
I've downloaded all of the website's "public_html" files through FTP and they appears as below. (numbers indicate which level they're located in)
0.public_html
1.resources
2.subfolder
3.index.blade.php (includes content for index page)
3.template.blade.php (includes contents i.e. for index)
2.public
3.index.php (loads laravel php framework, no other code included)
When I open the page source code of the index page (through chrome), it reads contents from index.blade.php, template.blade.php, and other php files into one html document.
I'm using MAMP on mac, and when I set the document root to "public" where index.php is located I get an error message:
This page isn’t working localhost is currently unable to handle this
request. HTTP ERROR 500
When I set the document root to "public_html" I get an index of folders in "public_html", including "public" and "resources"
How do you set up a localhost for a website like this (index.php loading multiple php files from folders outside of "public" folder)? Is it possible?
ps: Hope I made sense, if not I can clarify. I've worked with html/css/js and wordpress sites but am a complete noob with php. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was working on my site in php using xampp server. everything was going fine and great. i created the pages styled with css, functionalized with javascript and stored data with mysql. everything gone fine. when i decided to upload it to web server it didn't work well. on the very first page it didn't load css.
In the root directory i have only three files index.php, log-in.php and connect.php. css, js and every other files and folders are located in dashboard folder in root directory.
when i access website it shows the root index.php with no css because css files are in dashboard/ and when i access domain.com/dashboard it says
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle
the request.
I changed the files and folders permission on cpanel but that didn't work either.
This is directory structure
root index file
dashboard not accessible
should look like this
I hope somebody has explanation to this problem that why it is occurring and what is the solution.
Thank You...

Project Links do not work on Wamp Server
(13 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
This is my first time trying to use wamp and I'm having trouble viewing my php project. I know the code works just fine (because it is a copy of currently live site). Basically when I try to view the site on my localhost only the index.php file loads and the image folder. No css folders/files are loading. The links work, so I can navigate my site, but no css.
My project folder is inside the www folder in my localhost. See below my project is called movies.
C:\wamp64\www\movies
When I go to view it at - http://localhost/movies/ , it displays only the html. When I view the sources tab in the console it shows the localhost/movies and inside movies an image folder and index, there should be many other folders including CSS and PHP folder called process.
If you saved the Webpage by CTRL+S the sources to your wamp dir then maybe it didn't download all sources.
I suppose you are using Windows and maybe chrome or firefox. Inspect Element the page you are currently trying to view and find sources .CSS|.JS|.JPG in console then navigate to the file and see if it's working like http:/localhost/assets/js/something.css.
Remember all your files should be inside www folder because it is the root dir accessible for server.
If you are using <? (short open tag) then for Wamp, Left click on wamp, Hover on PHP then hover over PHP Settings, find "short open tag" and finally Click it. Restart Wamp Server.
The reason for this might be due to the links. If your website is example.com and you link to an image /directory/file.jpg, the browser will request domain+uri -> example.com/directory/file.jpg and it works fine.
You run in a directory called movies and you access it via localhost/movies/. You expect that the browser used localhost/movies/directory/file.jpg, but it's not. It's domain+uri -> localhost/directory/file.jpg. As you can see, "/movies" is missing from it, thus it's not finding the file.
There are a few possible solutions. The best one is to add alocal test domain in your vhost file. You can do this by clicking the wamp logo -> 'your virtual hosts' -> 'virtual host management'. This solution is a bit more difficult and might require some more research, but is the long term best solution.
The first input is your website, eg movies.test.
The second is the path, which is c:/wamp64/www/movies/ (or where-ever you have wamp).
Then click start and restart wamp.
You can also set a base path in you html header.
<base href="/localhost/movies" >
And you could also link to your files relative
<img src="./images/file.jpg" />
These last two are easier, but require different values local vs on your production server. That works annoyingly if you have to keep updating it.
I have a static html website that I need to convert to Wordpress. I was able to successfully load wordpress on my hosting and configured a theme. However, the front end still displays the original html page. I need the whole website to be converted to wordpress, but I can't figure out where to add the htaccess and index.php files as I read from a blog. Someone help out.
Thanks
Sam
1) you're kind of asking for the whole of how the internet operates. I'm not saying that to be confrontational, just know that you'll likely be downvoted for such an impossible question.
2) more to the point, your server is looking for a directory index. In general, most servers look for index.html, index.htm, index.php, and then others, but in that order. If it encounters index.html in your directory then it stops and says that is the file to load.
3) you can get around this by changing the name of your file.
"index.html" -> "index_OLD.html" (or any name not index.html)
4) you can also change the way your server processes the index order using the DirectoryIndex directive in your HTAccess file. Ask your hosting provider about how to do this and if it's supported (although, I don't recommend you do this, it's just an available option).
5) your wordpress install should be in the root directory. That is to say, your .htaccess and index.php files should live in the same directory that your current index.html file lives in. Once the html file has a different name, the server will locate the php file and use it to server up as the directory index.
6) good luck friend!
I have recently transferred my files from localhost to a web site. I used XAMPP to develop the files and transfer them to the web host. Everything is working fine except that /XAMPP was somehow added to the URL and has prevented access to the main web page. Any ideas on how to modify/remove this would be appreciated. Thanks!
So my webpage www.webpage.com now becomes www.webpage.com/xampp and I need to change the path to a login page from the xampp path
Thanks!
Then, only move files inside htdocs/ to your webserver. Remove other
uploaded files first. After this, try again accessing your
application.
For some reason when I create a project in netbeans and go to run the project it also loads the xxamp index file and not the project index file that is apart of the codeigniter installation.
http://screencast.com/t/qOSH80wPgvf
Edit:
Here is my file tree I have right now set up for my project. Why Netbeans creates an important files folder I have no idea for my CI project. I have edited the index file to have the application and system variable to both have the ../system or applicaton as its value. I have changed the Web Root inside the project properties to have a value of public_html and I have also changed the value of the Index File field to say index.php.
After doing this and running the project I would expect to get the default Welcome to Codeigniter page and I don't. I am receiving a message that shows the following. Any ideas on why this is?
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

I've tried doing some additional research on the topic and have yet to come up with a solution.
Edit 2:
Any ideas from anyone?
Your problem is likely related to your choice of folder layout. Which I assume you do, for "security reasons". That said, NetBeans isn't a server. Its an IDE, so you can't manipulate it the same way you would the server.
Most servers by default define your "root" folder as "public_html" or "www" as far as where it looks by default to serve files for public consumption. Through the use of PHP you can tell the index.php that comes with CodeIgniter to look up one directory outside of the defined root and have it read the file(s) accordingly.
However, to setup a project in netbeans and have all files and folder accounted for accordingly you need to tell it that all your files start in whatever folder they reside. So it can load all the files and read from them respectively. This in essence and in respect to server logic is telling it that the folder that houses
application
public_html
system
is the define root path. So inadvertantly by breaking out of the design of codeigniter and placing the core files outside of what would be your defined root on the server is breaking your project. There is not an index.php depicted in your listing above at the same level that those folders are in. If there is, its the index.php for xxamp that keeps loading for you by default.
What you need to do is stop trying to implement your "security measures" and put them in the right order. Or.. not include that folder in your project telling it the one with assets and index.php is the root path. If netbeans is smart enough it will find the files and folders outside like the server will.
Right click on your project and go to properties. Make sure that in the run configuration the URL is correct and the index file is properly set up and matches your directory in xxamp.
after downloading codeigniter open index.php file and there set your path correctly to your
application folder because i think you putted your index.php inside public_html folder so
the path which is set by default in index.php is not working and can not find application folder, try to fix it and it will work fine your problem is not with netbeans.
