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 where to put my handwritten php files.
After a few hours of googling, and trying to understand the file explorer, I realized I have no idea where anything is in ubuntu. For an answer, please don't just tell me "go to "X" directory. I won't know how to navigate there.
I also did a file search for htdocs with no luck.
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"
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
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!!
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.
This will work for me:
.../xampp/htdocs/php/test.phtml
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.

I know this is not a new question but I think something has changed with Xampp in the latest version. I was using Xampp 8.0 and was using another directory to serve as localhost just fine. My Xampp installation is in C:/xampp while my projects are located in D:\Whip\Projects. This is the folder I want to load when using the address localhost.
I changed 2 lines in httpd.conf like I had done several times before
DocumentRoot "D:\Whip\Projects"
<Directory "D:\Whip\Projects">
The folder loads but PHP doesn't work properly. I get errors related to missing session folders and extensions. The problem is in php.ini file the paths are not absolute anymore. For example, in xampp 8.0 I had
session.save_path="C:\xampp\tmp"
In 8.2 I have
session.save_path="\xampp\tmp"
And same thing with extensions directory and all other paths defined in php.ini (and who knows where else). If I manually add C: to the path above, the sessions start working. I'm apprehensive of changing every path like that. Is there a better way to change the htdocs folder now?
I just installed codeIgniter on my xampp but whenever I try to go to it's folder (localhost/ci) , it instead takes me to localhost/xampp
Can't find what else is needed to do.
Rename index.php in your htdocs folder to index1.php,
then try to access http://localhost,
so now you will see Apache's default Directory listing instead of XAMPP homepage.
If you somehow want to move back to the default XAMPP homepage, do rename index1.php to index.php
It's not really necessary to put your codeigniter project in the htdocs folder of xampp. You can also save it somewhere else.
To run it, go to C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf and replace the line DocumentRoot "/home/user/www" to your liked one.
"index.php" kept in htdocs directory works as redirection.
Open this file with notepad or in other editor.
At this line:
header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');
Replace xampp with the name of your website directory name ie root:
header('Location: '.$uri.'/bulandshahr/');
Your website will work.
I have a website which I copied to this location. The public_html folder was also uploaded with the other folders but it is not showing up. Please guide me. Thanks.
As you are using DreamHost web hosting you wont have any control over ssh and chmod , chown commands. I think dreamhost wont use cPanel for shared hosting, they have their own control panel, so there is nothing you can do, Ask dreamHost support to reinitialize your public_html directory. Surely they will do that. I searched on dreamhost forum and found these link-
https://discussion.dreamhost.com/thread-13646-post-13647.html#pid13647
https://discussion.dreamhost.com/thread-128630.html
Currently in your case i saw that there is no issue related to public_html (technically "Document Root" ) directory coz as your http://www.inspuratesystems.com/second/ is pointing to correct directory , and your documentRoot is parent of that directory, So if your documentRoot was wrong then there were no chance to access that that url, currently your domain is opening a correct index.html file which indicates that your documentRoot is there.
Create a index.html or home.html file there manually (from their web based file manager) and see if it is working or not, if it works then there is some issue with your uploading.
Your hosting provider seems to be dreamhost.com
Please check out this thread, according to which public_html seems to be a special case on dreamhost:

Getting a 'Not Found' error on my website?

Make sure that the public_html folder has execute permissions
chmod a+x public_html
That will allow execute permissions for everybody.
Perhaps it's possible that server (apache?) hides folders named public_html? Also check that group others have read and execute permissions for that folder.
In folder /path/to/second/ run
chmod ugo+rx .
chmod -R ugo+rx public_html
to set folder visible.
cpanel may handle the "public_html" folder in a unique way. Try uploading to a folder like: /home/yourusername/public_html/second/files/ instead of /home/yourusername/public_html/second/public_html/
If you are wanting to create a new distinct website at inspuratesystems.com/second/ you don't need a second "public_html" folder. Just put them in the /home/yourusername/public_html/second directory.
If you are using a linux or OS X server, you may need to change the permissions on the folder.
Did you checked if the folder is hidden attribute?
If you execute ls -a in terminal, you will know about it's existence. If it is present then please try giving it read & execute permission (using chmod 555 command). Give write permission if you are planning to write something or take feedback from users (using chmod 777).
I tried some of this options above but unfortunately none worked. Instead I discovered that in CPanel you have a "Preferences" tab and in that tab you have a "User Manager" function. You can there edit the ftp user that you created before in CPanel. On the "User Manager" funcion you can find the "Home Directory" configuration. On that home directory you just choose the "public_html". When you configure the user in the ftp account on your ftp platform, it goes directly to the path you defined in CPanel.
I am trying to install Magento on localhost.
actually, I am a beginner of Magento and stackoverflow.
I have followed guide book and I downloaded Magento sample file.. and unzipped the file at c:/xampp/htdocs/magento
also modified the host file..
whenever I am trying to enter the
www.localhost.com/magento
index of magento page shows up.like ftp server.
How can I open the Magento file as well guide book..
I do not use xammp so I don't know how it's directory structure looks like, but: it looks like you are installing Magento in a subdirectory, right?
If you do so, you have to edit .htaccess. Change RedirectBase to the name of your subdirectory. So here it should be /magento/ And if the RedirectBase line in .htaccess is commented out delete the # at the beginning of that line.
Once magento zip file is unzipped drag the unzipped file in
c:xampp/htdocs/(magento unzipped folder) --->> this is root directory of magento
Now we web browser hit this url
http://localhost/(magento unzipped folder name)
if you are hitting this url first time it asks for configuration and admin url name
to access admin panel
http://localhost/(magento unzipped folder name)/admin url name
That seems to be related with your webserver configuration, and not Magento. If you have Apache, for instance, have a look at your configuration file httpd.conf, and check the line that starts with "DirectoryIndex".
You need to have "index.php" as a valid index file. If you don't, just add it right after DirectoryIndex, restart Apache and it should work fine.
/etc/httpd/conf -> usual location for the httpd.conf file (standard installation, RedHat/CentOS family)
Depending on configuration in the .htaccess file, you might need to specify index.php in the url as such: localhost/magento/index.php or (www.localhost.com/magento/index.php as per your comment) to access it.
Check your virtual host configuration file for the domain name that you are using. If the directory index is missing in the configuration then the apache server will not be able to determine the entry point for the website and will list all of the files.
I have recently got a mac an am not used to developing on a mac at all.
I have MAMP Pro 1.9.6.1. I did a locate on php.ini and got this:
$ locate php.ini
/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.2/php.ini
/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini
/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php.ini
/private/etc/php.ini.default
I changed the name of all of them. Restarted MAMP. It loaded without a hitch (I know odd right?). I am using PHP version 5.2.
All of these files are now different names (done one by one for process of elimination).
So I figure restart the mac. Same, MAMP loaded no problems, even though all of the php.ini files had been move. On Lamp this that wouldn't even load. But either there is another php.ini file I'm missing (quite possible I don't know how to updatedb), MAMP is really intelligent and just pulls in all of them (less likely) or it doesn't use one.
Note: If this doesn't help, check below for Ricardo Martins' answer.
Create a PHP script with <?php phpinfo() ?> in it, run that from your browser, and look for the value Loaded Configuration File. This tells you which php.ini file PHP is using in the context of the web server.
I'm not sure if in MAMP (non-PRO) is the same, but MAMP overrides the modified php.ini everytime it starts.
In my case, I needed to use the MAMP menu to change my php.ini file (File -> Edit Template -> PHP -> PHP 5.xx -> php.ini).
To be clearer (as i read this thread but didn't SEE the solution, also if it was here!), I have the same problem and found the cause: I were modifying the wrong php.ini!
Yes, there are 2 php.ini files in MAMP:
Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.5.10/php.ini
Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini
The right php.ini file is the second: Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini
To prove this, create a .php file (call it as you like, for example "info.php") and put into it a simple phpinfo()
<?php
echo phpinfo();
Open it in your browser and search for "Loaded Configuration File": mine is "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini"
The error was here; i edited Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.5.10/php.ini but this is the wrong file to modify! Infact, the right php.ini file is the one in the bin directory.
Take care of this so small difference that caused me literally 1 and a half hours of headaches!
The file you have to edit is in MAMP Pro and uses the php.ini file everytime it starts up.
Start MAMP PRO
Edit File > Edit Templates > PHP 5.3.2 php.ini
Restart MAMP Pro
Your changes should stick.
I don't know if you ever found an answer to this but I DIDN'T need MAMP PRO to do this. Simply goto the correct path by following what others have said. It's something like...
MAMP-> bin-> php-> php(your php version)-> conf-> php.ini
The key here is where you're editing the file. I was making the mistake of editing the commented part of the ini file. You actually have to scroll down to LINE #472 where it says "display_errors = Off and change it to On. Hope this helps any
Just run the following command from your terminal, it will show you your Loaded Configuration File easiest way I have ever found.
php --ini
Change /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.2/php.ini if you are using 5.2 version of php. If you are using the 5.3 php version, edit the /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini.
If you are using OSX Lion or OSX Mountain Lion, I recommend you using the default installation of apache and php.
Greets!
After running the MAMP server, you have php info link in toolbar
Once click, You will get all information about php
Probably the fastest way to access the PHP.ini for the currently loaded version of PHP in MAMP PRO (v.4.2.1):
Open MAMP Pro
Click on "PHP" under the "Languages" section on the sidebar
Tap on the arrow button right next to the drop-down that lets you select the "Default Version" of PHP.
It depends on which version of PHP your MAMP is using. You can find it out on: /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf looking for the configured php5_module.
After that, as someone said before, you have to go to the bin folder. There you'll find a conf folder with a php.ini inside.
example: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/conf

After going through all the solutions here, the easiest way to find the loaded php.ini file is to go into phpinfo on the loaded MAMP webpage, which will show you the loaded php.ini file.
This will also confirm if the parameters you change, like max_file_size, have updated correctly.
On my Mac, running MAMP I have a few locations that would be the likely php.ini, so I edited the memory_limit to different values in the 2 suspected files, to test which one effected the actual MAMP PHP INFO page details.
By doing that I was able to determine that this was the correct php.ini:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.10/conf/php.ini
I only have the non-pro version of MAMP but just because it loads it doesn't mean the PHP file is being found/without errors.
I renamed my php.ini files and MAMP still started but Apache returned several errors.
What are you trying to change in your php.ini file?
I have checked all answers and of course I have used phpinfo() to check the exact location of php.ini. I don't see a File option in the menu bar on my mac. I changed both php.ini and php.ini.temp files in that folder. No vail.
Until I realized that I forgot to uncomment the modified always_populate_raw_post_data line.
I was struggling with this too. My changes weren't being reflected in phpInfo. It wasn't until I stopped my servers and then restarted them again that my changes actually took effect.
