Hi All,

I have just installed XAMPP to use as a localost to develop my web site. I don't know how to access the local host with ftp or my web browser. What is its address? How do I upload a new web site to it?

I would really appreciate some help.

Thanks.
Dick

You haven't mentioned which operating system you are using. I assume you are using windows XP. Also you didn't mention where you have installed XAMPP in your Computer I mean in which path. I assume you have installed in C:\xampp
If it is installed in the above location, your Web Root directory will be here :
C:\xampp\htdocs
This is your /public_html folder . Copy your website in that.

Thanks for thr reply. You are correct, I am using XP. Now that I have moved my files, how do I tell my fpt and browser to look on the local host rather than the internet?

After starting apache from The Xampp Control panel in your browser type this http://127.0.0.1/
or http://localhost/ That's it.
It should open the index (index.php or index.html) file resides in the document root. (in this case C:\xampp\htdocs)

Thank you very much.
