working with xampp/apache

[stefan we.]

How do I set-up a test server If I use a MySQL and an Apache server in a xampp bundle. I did not find sufficiant information in the tutorials

I've actually been having the darndest time trying to do the exact same thing -
only using the WAMP (Apache, PHP, MySql) server installation.

Hope someone is able to explain the process - since I would really like to get
this working on my machine as well.
(running Windows XP Pro).

you just point the test server path to the location of your xampp bundle install (i.e. your site location in the htdocs folder) it should just connect. mine did

What is not working? Do you see anything at [url]http://localhost[/url] ?

thank you, it did the trick. I had two flaws:
1.) I pointed it to the xampp/apache-folder and not to htdocs
2.) I punched in the whol thread (c:/...), but since you already specify the
folder of your local host, you only have to add the name of the folder in which
you have your web-site-files.
I hope this might be of some help for others.
