While writing 'localhost' as url in the browser, the index.html at this location runs: **file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/PrepLift/html/index.php**
Generally, writing localhost as url in a browser, the index.html file saved at htdocs runs. But in my case index.html kept at other location runs.
If i want to run a index.html file kept in htdocs, what i should write as url?
let's suppose I want to run this file:///C:/xampp/htdocs/wp_blog/accesspress-lite/index.php on the browser using localhost. (This file is in some other branch folders saved in htdocs). What url should I write?
As the target file which I want to run is in the folder before the location of index.html running by localhost.
Run Server and open on http protocol ... file protocol will not execute php code
You are using xampp. So run it and access it at something http://localhost/wp_blog/ ( if your port is not 80 than http://localhost:PORT_NO/wp_blog/ for example PORT_NO = 8000 than http://localhost:8000/wp_blog/
You can also run default php server like this (if php is available globally): Go to public folder -> open cmd -> Type "php -S localhost:8000"
