回答1:
instead of
http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/index.htmltry just
http://localhost/index.htmlor if index.html is saved in a folder in htdocs then
http://localhost/<folder-name>/index.html回答2:
htdocs is your default document-root directory, so you have to use localhost/index.html to see that html file. In other words, localhost is mapped to xampp/htdocs, so index.html is at localhost itself. You can change the location of document root by modifying httpd.conf and restarting the server.
回答3:
Start your XAMPP server by using:
{XAMPP}\xampp-control.exe{XAMPP}\apache_start.bat
Then you have to use the URI http://localhost/index.html because htdocs is the document root of the Apache server.
If you're getting redirected to http://localhost/xampp/*, then index.php located in the htdocs folder is the problem because index.php files have a higher priority than index.html files. You could temporarily rename index.php.

You need to start your Apache Server normally you should have an xampp icon in the info-section from the taskbar, with this tool you can start the apache server as wel as the mysql database (if you need it)
回答5:
You should simply create your own folder in htdocs and save your .html and .php files in it. An example is create a folder called myNewFolder directly in htdocs. Don't put it in index.html. Then save all your.html and .php files in it like this-> "localhost/myNewFolder/myFilename.html" or "localhost/myNewFolder/myFilename.php" I hope this helps.
