Xampp Server problem

[Waffle]

Hey People, Not sure if this is the right place to be asking this but I figure, Someone on here must use it.

I have Xampp running and the Apache, MySQL and Mercury are all running but when I go to

http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/

It doesn’t work!
C:xampphtdocs is where I place my files, Thats correct right? But I get this message when i go to
http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/

Object not found!



The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.



If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404

Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 

Any help is appreciated.
I really want this to work for easier php practice.

Use Wamp Server I know How To Use That…

[davidlab.be]

http://localhost/ (insert…FOLDER NAME or FILE that are stored in the htdocs)

on another note …switch to Wamp Server like @ChrisBull said. Much better server in my opinion

@springlab — just curious what the advantages are of using Wamp over Xampp? I’ve only used Xampp but am always on the lookout for ways to improve my workflow, etc.

Don’t know if xamp can do this as i have never used it but with wamp you can have your files where ever you want them and then create a url that goes to the folder.
For instance if i wanted to i could have a file at f:/projects/test/ and then i could type http://www.css-tricks.com into my browser and it would got the my test file directory
