I've installed xampp on local computer (local host) and then installed joomla on xampp, now I need to remove only the joomla completely from xampp. How do I do it.
Try locating in ../xampp/htdocs/you-folder. You can delete the whole folder for your website files.
As for database, run XAMPP and type localhost in your browser. Navigate to your database and delete it.
Hope this helps.
Delete site folder via Explorer, delete database via phpMyAdmin.

The latest WAMP server version installation does not display www directory in the main menu, which in the previous versions was always an item below localhost, phpMyAdmin etc.
Is there any way to bring this back to the menu? Is there any file that serves what is displayed in the menu that can be edited?
Ive got a brand new machine (Lenovo Y700) running Windows 10. I have xampp installed and I have my project folder in the htdocs folder of my xampp install as well. For some reason, no matter what I do, I cannot figure out why my project does not display. All I ever get is an "Index Of" page. Basically just a file hierarchy of my project folder. When changing URL to a specific path within that folder, I get directed to a page saying "refused to connect". I have uninstalled and re-installed xampp 5 or 6 times and I just cannot figure out why I cant view my project on the localhost. Makes no sense whatsoever.
When I uninstalled (or disabled only) a projectfork
component for joomla 2.5 I got the 404. error. What should I do for properly and complete uninstalling this component?
To properly uninstall any extension, it's the same process.
Go to the admin Panel
Go to Extension Manager
Click on the "Manage" button
Select the extension and click "Uninstall"
If the extension has been developed properly, it should delete all references from the database as well as the files from the folders. If it doesn't, you will just have to manually delete the files that are still there and delete the SQL tables and a row from #__extensions
I recently installed the WAMP server on my computer and when I open the localhost it automatically opens in firefox. I want it to open in chrome so I can use the chrome developer tools. How can make my local host open in chrome instead of firefox. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help me.
To change the default browser of the Wamp server
Go to the Wamp installation directory
Open wampmanager.conf file in a text editor.
Change the navigator to your browser
example:- navigator = “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe”
save and restart your server
Go to the wampmanager.conf and change the navigator to Google Chrome.
Go in C Drive
Open wamp64 folder
Open wampmanager.config file
In last step see navigator queue and paste this statement given below
navigator ="C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"
or
"C:/Program Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe"
and close the all folder.
Go wamp server and right click on wamp server
click on exits option and restart the wamp server
automatically open localhost in chrome browser or search http://localhost in your browser.
I just installed XAMPP beta with PHP 5.3 on Vista, but installed it in c:\xampp\xampp instead of c:\xampp.
How can I uninstall it and reinstall in the correct directory?
It should just be a matter of deleting the xampp directory and reinstalling.
You might need to delete any shortcuts (Start Menu, Desktop, etc) for the uninstall.
There's an uninstall executable in the Xampp folder. It should do the rest for you.
Did you try going to add/remove programs and uninstalling it? When you reinstall just remember to specify the correct folder (ie. C:/xampp). I don't know if you'll have to stop the services or not. I don't think you will, but it will probably ask you to restart when you uninstall.
Just use CCleaner (free version CCleaner.com) tools/uninstall function. Scroll down to xampp and highlight. Click uninstall. It will stop before it deletes the mysql and htdocs folders. Since mine was a test database and did not have any data I wanted to keep I clicked yes to delete everything. You may have to manually delete c:/xampp and your zipped download of xampp if they are present.
Just you can use the XAMP UNISTALL option....! if you can't find it through the folders, just search it using the search option of the startup button which is seem at the leftmost down of the screen
