I finished installing Ubuntu 10 for netbooks, and XAMPP. The XAMPP website tutorial made it very easy to install, then left me high and dry. Everything works, but I have no idea
When in a window, go to GO ---> ENTER LOCATION... And then copy paste this: /opt/lampp/htdocs
Now you are at the htdocs folder. Then you can add your files there, or in a new folder inside this one (for example "myproyects" folder and inside it your files... and then from a navigator you access it by writting: localhost/myproyects/nameofthefile.php
What I did to find it easily everytime, was right click on "myproyects" folder and "Make link..."... then I moved this link I created to the Desktop and then I didn't have to go anymore to the htdocs, but just enter the folder I created in my Desktop.
Hope it helps!!
