So I want to use Xampp to control my servers. I already installed Apache2 and now it orverrides localhost.
Whenever i put localhost/xampp/index.php it says OBJECT NOT FOUND.
How would I delete this Apache program, and strictly use Xampp on localhost?
I already tried to change the .conf file to Listen 8000 and when to http://localhost:8000/xampp/index.php
Steps:
Open "XAMPP controll panel and run Apache and MySQL"
create folder www inside xampp\htdocs, if you are on win propably C:\xampp\htdocs, so now you have C:\xampp\htdocs\www\
Create test.php inside C:\xampp\htdocs\www\, now you have C:\xampp\htdocs\www\test.php
Put inside test this: <?php echo 'php works fine.'; ?>
Run this script in browser on link "http://localhost/www/test.php" you will see "php works fine.".
DONE.
Have you started apache by opening up Xampp control panel? If you didn't then it won't work. So open up Xampp control panel from the start menu and click on start where it says apache and then run http://localhost to see whether it works.
Have a look at the :
\xampp\apache\logs\error.log
This might give you an idea, why the XAMPP splash screen cannot be found.
Also, make sure you do not have any IIS or similar programs running, as they might have a conflict with the XAMPP.
You can also check if the port is open or not using the instructions given here..
Cheers.
I might be wrong, but it seems to me that everything on localhost is coming from htdocs, but you don't call it from htdocs in the URL.

I cant see my xampp settings: using this URL http://localhost/xampp/
This is the result im looking for:
I dont know why but if i look at examples, everyone's URL looks like http://localhost/xampp/ if i use this Url i get a page saying:
Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server.
The directory is located in C:\xampp, and if i just add http://localhost/ as domain i get the tree structure of everything within C:\xampp\htdocs.
Also using Xampp v3.2.2 , if im in control panel and click on the Apache Config tab it open my file structure as mentioned above everything within C:\xampp\htdocs.
I just want to mention im using Windows, not Mac, but i meen both windows and mac has these Apache settings afcourse, i just dont get it how i cant find it using http://localhost/xampp/.
Apache & MySQL is switched on.
What i think could be the problem:
Could it be that im missing the /xampp directory within the /htdocs directory ?
Im not sure if there should be a xampp directory in htdocs but its the
only thing that makes sense?
Possible reason: Something is running with port 80
when you run Xampp, check the apache port no. ex: if it is displaying port 8012
then your url is http://localhost:8012/dashboard/
Check Directories for Xampp
Xampp directories.
more about this topic
For check all dependencies in the : httpd-xampp
The only reason i see is the xampp file should be located in the htdocs folder at least that is how i have it.
However i do not think that this will cause a problem for you in developing anything.
Hope this was helpful :)
I have installed Apache2.2 on my computer, PHP 5, and MySQL. Everything was working fine until last night. Suddenly, I could no longer connect to the localhost. I think my computer was infected with a trojan, but that has since been removed and I am unable to reconnect to my localhost.
I have updated my hosts file Windows(C:)/Windows/System32/drivers/etc hosts in notepad: see attachment.
I have tested my connection in the CMD prompt see attachment.
You'll notice [::]1, but after updating my host file, it now displays as 127.0.0.1
Additionally, port 80 IS LISTENING
instead of my web browser loading the page as localhost/vote/home.php NOW it loads as file:///C:/Websites/Vote/home.php AND NOW my PHP no longer works i.e. not being pulled into my web page.
...can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.
Why is my local host not working? Thoughts? Thank you in advance.
Additionally, my web browser page does not time out when requesting localhost....
(I'm a new user so I am unable to post images)?

if you put localhost/vote/home.php into your browser's address bar you should get an unabled to connect error,
not a redirect to a file. The only time the address bar will show file:///C:/Websites/Vote/home.php is if you open
that file directly in your browser.
Your details about why apache isnt working are not to clear, but you can try a couple of things.
First, how did you install apache, is it a service? you can check this by going to control panel > Administrative Tools > Services and
see if apache is in that list. If its, you have to start it, if its not then apache is not installed as a service and
you need to start it by running the executable. Go to the whichever directory your httpd executable is and run it.
Some things to try:
Make sure Apache is actually running, that it haven't failed during startup.
Check if it's listening to the expected port (80, or whatever you have configured it to)
> netstat -nb
Check your hosts file to make sure nothing fishy is going on there. localhost should point to 127.0.0.1, but maybe it's been set to point somewhere else by your virus thing.
If you can't figure it out, you can always try to remove/uninstall and try to set it up again. If this is a developer machine, I can recommend using the WAMP package installer instead of setting it all up yourself. It provides fairly easy switching between php/apache/mysql versions and easy switching on and off of most regular apache and php modules.
run command prompt as administrator and go to Apache bin folder (usually 'cd \apache\bin' ) and type httpd -k start. it worked for me with the same issue.
I had the exact issue. If you have a XAMPP control panel pull it up. There you will see XAMPP Control Panel Image the different modules that you have open... Apache will be one of them. In the 'Actions' column you will have 'Stop' adjacent to it. Hit the 'Stop' and wait about 1 minute for everything to calm down. The button will change to 'start' so hit it. This will reset Apache. It worked for me...Good Luck.
If you don't have the control panel on your desktop, go into your programs list and drop-down the XAMPP icon. The control panel is right there. Just click it and it will show
I followed installation instruction for PHP, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin. But when I tried to access http://localhost/phpmyadmin/, I got this error:
"Not Found The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this
server.".
Then I tried to access just the localhost, still I got same error.
How can i fix this problem?
I'm using windows 7 (if this problem has something to do with that)
1 sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
2 search insert: "Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf" at the bottom of file.
and restart apache2
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
you just need to delete cookies from your browser
press (ctrl + shift + delete) then
time range to clear : Everything
check -> Cookies then clear now
done.
There really isn't enough information to be able to give you a reasonable answer.
First check that your Apache is running. Goto your start menu and type services.msc into the text field.
Fairly high towards the top of the screen you will see ApacheX.X
See what the status of the service is. Try double-clicking on the Apache service and pressing Start if the service isn't running. If it has troubles starting you will get a message telling you the service couldn't be started.
I was just having this problem and i've come across an easier solution:
left click on the wamp tray icon
apache>
apache modules>
check the 'rewrite module'
bingo!
I just finished installing xampp 1.8.2 on WinXP XP2 machine and got same error show up on my Firefox 24.0 browser:
xampp Not Found The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this
server.
I solved this problem by changing the proxy of my firefox browser, go to menu tools-Option find tab Network, click button settings. Fill the text box below No Proxy for with localhost.
In my case then it looklike:
192.168.1.0/24, localhost
Then press Ok, then Ok again.
Try now typing localhost/xampp then it should show Welcome to XAMPP for Windows!
Note: to change proxy for other browser may differ, check your browser help about how to change proxy.
Hope this help.
Most likely it is the port conflict for apache server, by default is must be using port 80. You can goto apache configuration file, http.conf and change the port to a different one like: Listen 0.0.0.0:10021
This solved my issue.
If using wamp, you can right click on wamp -> apache -> Use port other than 80, give a port number. Restart all wamp services.
If you are not able to access localhost :
One possible reason might be is your apache server is not started. Go to start menu of your computer and search services, open it, find Apache, start the program.(Considering all the configuration of PHP and Apache has done correctly)
If you are not able to access localhost/phpmyadmin :
First of all, add phpmyadmin folder to your working directory. Download it from https://www.phpmyadmin.net and unzip it. Add the folder to your working directory and change the name to phpmyadmin. Now you can access localhost/phpmyadmin. You will see a login page of PhpMyAdmin application. If you are seeing file directories instead of the login page, then go to your apache server's httpd.conf(apache/conf/httpd.conf) file. Edit it and change the index.html of DirectoryIndex to index.php
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php
</IfModule>
It also could be because you have changed the directory name, where the phpMyAdmin server sits. make sure the directory/folder name is correct and matches with the locations you used for Localhost to set up.
Also, make sure you have set up MySQL server.
I have my xampp instalation up and running.
I have a php file with just
<?php
echo"Hello World";
?>
This I can see in my browser when I place it inside C:\xampp\htdocs
But if I place it inside C:\xampp\htdocs\myfolder I get an error 500 server not found.
What's wrong with putting my file inside myfolder? Is that because of Vista? Any advice?
Thanks a lot
First off I'd try restarting Xampp services via the Xampp Control Panel (especially Apache). If the problem is still there check xampp\apache\logs for errors. Depending on how familiar you are with Xampp I'd check to make sure the Apache service is running (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services), restart it manually and test again.
I'm pretty sure I've had a similar issue to this in the past with Xampp when my computer crashed while Apache was running, which I think I only managed to solve by reinstalling Xampp though. Good luck
You're placing it in the wrong directory.
C:\xampp\myfolder\htdocs
If you want to access the file you should put it under the htdocs directory.
Do this instead
C:\xampp\htdocs\myfolder\
Have you checked the access rights of the folder? Maybe it is not accessable via localhost. Windows 6+ is very strict related to accessing directorys. If you can't find it then set the UAC to a lower lewer to test it, if you think it's safe enough.
I want to start learning php, I install apache 2.2 and I want to run my first.php file, I look for www folder in the installation folder of ApacheSoftwareFoundation but I couldn't find it.
here's the files in the apache
I tried to put my php file in htdocs but it doesn't work , can some one help ?
Edit
Doesn't work means when I make http:localhost/first.php , returns Unable to connect
Now the apache is running, when I open htt'://localhost/
returns "it works"
but when I open any php file, it opens as-is ?!
You'll need to check a couple of things...
Make sure the Web Server is running ,either the service
or the program, is running and that you have the correctly configured the Virtual Directories.
If the web server just outputs the
content of the .php file, it could
mean that you don't have mod_php
installed. Meaning the server does
not have the Mime type registered so
it will just try to treat it as a
text file ...
And as your on windows you might consider using something like XAMPP. It gives you a Full Working AMP (Apache Mysql Php) Stack with one install and a easy control manager to start/stop the servers. Other wise do a couple of Google searches on how to install the php module for your Web Server on Windows
Update
To start the server try executing the executable bin/httpd.exe .
Now the apache is running, when I open
http://localhost/ returns "it works"
but when I open any php file, it opens
as-is ?!
A default installation of Apache on windows does not include the necessary modules to run PHP. After installing Apache, you must either:
Install PHP separately and follow the instructions described here to configure Apache to use the installed version of PHP to serve .php files. I've been through this and took me hours to get every thing to work.
Recommended for you: uninstall Apache; install WAMP instead.
if you look in your httpd.conf file you will find the default root directory, it doesnt have to be called www. It is the htdocs by default.
error 500 covers a whole host of things. from compile error, to permissions.
Have you put a simple file of
<?php
echo "test";
?>
As your test php page to rule out other issues?
You need to:
Construct your URI correctly: http://localhost/first.php (with the //)
Ensure that Apache is running
all files in htdocs can be referenced from outside
Just put a basic file named index.php
and visit site http://localhost/
In general type in http://localhost/filename
You say that you get a connection error when you try to go to your webpage. Since it looks like you're using Windows Vista or 7, make sure you're running Apache as an administrator; it can't bind to port 80 otherwise. Also check that other programs like Skype aren't binding to port 80. If you still can't find the problem, check the error log. (logs/error.log by default I think)
The problem is that Apache was installed but not started
If you are using xampp start it and then start apache through control panel
for others look for similar instruction
