XAMPP localhost redirects to localhost/dashboard

Question

I\'ve just installed xampp-win32-5.5.30 and in xampp control panel both Apache and mysql started without any error but I found:

1)localhost

Answer 1

This:

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

Performs redirect to localhost/dashboard/

Everything works as expected, if you clear this file and put some text, like "Hello world", you should see it on http://localhost/

Answer 2

In the file /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/httpd.conf change this:

# Virtual hosts
# Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

with this:

# Virtual hosts
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

Then, In the file /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf add with something like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName sbyc.byc.local
    ServerAlias sbyc.byc.local
    DocumentRoot "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/byc-mineduc01-ges/app"
    <Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/byc-mineduc01-ges/app">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog "logs/sbyc.byc.local-error_log"
</VirtualHost>
