windows - XAMPP Object not found error

Question

I have just installed XAMPP on my machine, and when trying to access sub folders in htdocs I get the following error.

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

localhost

Apache/2.4.4 (Win32) OpenSSL/0.9.8y PHP/5.4.19"

What default security changes do I need to make in order to access child folders of htdocs? Thanks!

Answer 1

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.

You're having problem because the object really doesn't exist in your htdocs directory. You don't have to append xampp after localhost or 127.0.0.1 because xampp will treat it as an object or a folder under htdocs.

if you want to access your blog, make sure you have a blog folder under htdocs and put in your URL localhost/blog
