Where do I put my php files to have Xampp parse them?

Question

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

Answer 1

This will work for me:

.../xampp/htdocs/php/test.phtml

Answer 2

in XAMPP the default root is "htdocs" inside the XAMPP folder, if you followed the instructions on the xampp homepage it would be "/opt/lampp/htdocs"

Answer 3

I created my project folder 'phpproj' in

...\xampp\htdocs

ex:...\xampp\htdocs\phpproj

and it worked for me. I am using Win 7 & and using xampp-win32-1.8.1

I added a php file with the following code

<?php

// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();

?>

was able to access the file using the following URL

http://localhost/phpproj/copy.php

Make sure you restart your Apache server using the control panel before accessing it using the above URL

Answer 4

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!!

Answer 5

Look into the httpd.conf and/or httpd-vhosts.conf files and search for the DocumentRoot entry. If you configure multiple virtual hosts, there may be more than one of those, separated in <VirtualHost> tags.

Answer 6

The default location to put all the web projects in ubuntu with LAMPP is :

 /var/www/

You may make symbolic link to public_html directory from this directory.Refered. Hope this is helpful.
