Xampp redirects to /xampp

Question

I just installed codeIgniter on my xampp but whenever I try to go to it's folder (localhost/ci) , it instead takes me to localhost/xampp

Can't find what else is needed to do.

Answer 1

Rename index.php in your htdocs folder to index1.php,

then try to access http://localhost,

so now you will see Apache's default Directory listing instead of XAMPP homepage.

If you somehow want to move back to the default XAMPP homepage, do rename index1.php to index.php

Answer 2

It's not really necessary to put your codeigniter project in the htdocs folder of xampp. You can also save it somewhere else. To run it, go to C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf and replace the line DocumentRoot "/home/user/www" to your liked one.

Answer 3

"index.php" kept in htdocs directory works as redirection.

1. Open this file with notepad or in other editor.

2. At this line:

   header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');
   

   Replace xampp with the name of your website directory name ie root:

   header('Location: '.$uri.'/bulandshahr/');
   

3. Your website will work.
