Socialengine php Installation error - php

I am struggling with socialengine php installation to my private server. I already have it hosted but want to develop it on my own computer. I have installed xampp, FileZilla server and client and netbeans.
I download and extract my socialengine zipped folder to into a folder within ht docs. Then I upload onto the FileZilla server. I then right click on the folder to copy the path. When I paste this into google browser I am not seeing the socialengine install wizard page where you enter your licence key.
Instead I am seeing an index page listing all the folders and other folders within ht docs directory. I have looked at many tutorials. Deleted everything and re-installed.
Can somebody please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Here are the cases to debug:
Check mod_rewrite enabled
.htaccess is available in that directory.
Server directory index set to index.php (DirectoryIndex index.php) in .htaccess file.
Check permission are fine on files and folders

Why does my Notepadqq editor does not recognize LAMP www folder and sub-folders?

Attempting to get LAMP working on my 32-bit Ubuntu 18.04 machine. I believe the set-up is close to correct. I have all Apache2, mysql, and PHP software installed. I have an index.php file located in folder /var/www/bookcorner directory which shows up as it should if I enter localhost/index.php in the browser address bar. This file may be edited in nano while saving the changes. However, I cannot use my editor Notepadqq (or presumably others) to edit the file.
Going through the file manager, I can select the file and open it in Notepadqq, but I cannot save it. I get the error, "folder does not exist". If I try a 'Save As' with Notepadqq, I do not see any folders past /var in the directory structure, though they obviously exist. The www folder and subfolders do not show up in Notepadqq.
There are three folders under /var/www which are
bookcorner
html
michaelsbookcorner.com
I have ownership of all of these folders
michaelsbookcorner.com is a live site at Infinityfree.net
I somehow got Apache2 to point to bookcorner for now which is fine. Eventually I would like to select between different websites but I only have one for now existing in another directory. I wish to begin utilizing LAMP rather than uploading PHP files to my hosting site all the time.
What settings/permissions/etc could I have missed here in order to get this working properly?

php url and folder name

I just installed the latest MAMP on Mac, and found this hard to understand:
The document root seems to be "~/MAMP/htdocs", because "localhost" will open the index.php file under this folder.
However, "localhost/MAMP/?language=English" opens "~/MAMP/bin/mamp/index.php". I know that in URL strings between "/"s are not necessaries folders, but if they are not folders, how was it constructed and how does the system know where to find the right files?
I know this is a pretty basic question which I can probably get answers by myself, but I don't know what key word to search. Tried "php url construction" and "php url folder" but no luck. So a proper keyword suggestion is also appreciated.
It is setup by default by MAMP. If you open up MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf in a text editor and scroll down to around line 368/369 and specifically line 408 you will see that it is an Apache Alias. it is setup for easy navigation, instead of having to type http://localhost:8888/bin/mamp you can just type http://localhost:8888/MAMP. It is also setup as an Alias to ensure that you can still access the web tools if you change the document root from something other than /Applications/MAMP/htdocs.
Are you sure http://localhost:8888 has the docroot set to ~/MAMP/htdocs as you suggest? Reason I ask is that looking at your first image the text says the docroot is /Applications/MAMP/htdocs. Also the docs say it should be in the /Applications/MAMP/htdocs. I think the issue is that you do not have MAMP in the Applications folder where it needs to be.

Where should I store my HTML and PHP pages?
By default, PHP and HTML Pages should be stored inside the MAMP
"htdocs" folder which is located in the MAMP Application directory
/Applications/MAMP. This folder is called "Document Root". You can
change the path for the Document Root in the MAMP application's
Preferences Panel:
Also please note this https://www.mamp.info/en/documentation/#q8
Will MAMP work if the MAMP folder is not located in the Applications
directory?
No. In order to work properly the MAMP folder has to be located in the
Applications folder.

install wordpress from zip

I have become completely frustrated trying to install WP on my server (hosted at home). I am able to launch the WP content manager and when I find the theme I would like to install, it asks me for my server FTP login. I give it the same logins I use for filezilla but it will not work. I have tried every combination.
So I tried installing from ZIP. I go into "upload" and try to upload the .zip I downloaded from the developer but it takes me again to the FTP login. Same problem as before. The theme I want is called "application" by manshi gori.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Here is a way in which you can Disble the FTP Credentials for installing Plugins and Themes from backend
Just Add the following Code in wp-config.php
define('FS_METHOD','direct');
You should check the file permissions:
All files should be 644 and all folders 755.

osCommerce with Apache HTTP server 2.2

Copy the oscommerce directory to your web server htdocs directory and open the location with >your browser. Setup will automatically
launch and guide you through the installation and configuration of
your new online store.
I copied the said folder into htdocs, in my browser I go to localhost which displays the index.html in the htdocs folder already (just says "it works!"). I do not see the setup launch?
I installed PHP 5, but not sure if I done it right, I just used the MSI installer.
Delete the index.html in that folder and you've done. This answer presume that all the configuration are all right.

PHP sample project with wamp

I installed wamp stack and then installed netbeans ide. The port number for apache is 100.
Created one PHP project at
C:\Users\aaa\Documents\NetBeansProjects\PhpProject2
and project URL http://localhost:100/PhpProject2/
When I click on run, I see the message "http://localhost:100/PhpProject2/index.php URL not found on the server".
What else I need to do to connect http://localhost:100/PhpProject2/index.php to C:\Users\aaa\Documents\NetBeansProjects\PhpProject2?
Please help.
You need to configure Apache's webroot to be C:\Users\aaa\Documents\NetBeansProjects (search for DocumentRoot in the file httpd.conf).
Or you can move/copy your files to the existing webroot, which may be something like c:\wwwroot.
Apache doesn't just magically know where you put your website files, and setting the URL inside NetBeans doesn't actually configure the webserver (I think it's just so that auto-generated links are right).
If you go to http://localhost:100/, what do you see? What is your web root? The folder needs to be in your web root, and I would be surprised if it is C:\Users\aaa\Documents\
I did a Google search for "wamp stack" and found a product by Bitnami... if this is the one you are using, the default web root is C:\Program Files\BitNami WAMP Stack\apache2\htdocs\. If that is indeed the case, then you'd need to move the NetBeansProjects folder to there. (source: http://bitnami.org/files/stacks/wampstack/5.3.6-0/wampstack.pdf page 7)
You need to look into aliasing. That will let you more or less assign directories in the url path to arbitrary directories on your file system.
You have to move your files to your root folder of the Apache installation (htdocs). You should refer to your WAMP installation for where that is located. Personally, I like to use XXAMP for installation.
Netbeans is just an IDE, it doesn't serve the files.
