After clearing xampp from the URL bar the page reloads and does not show me the content of htdocs folder.

I copied the folder htdocs to the desktop created the test.php file and added the folder to sublime text 2 but I can't see the content of the folder in the browser. I installed the xampp successfully. The version is XAMPP 1.8.3

Maksim;

Not to be belittling, but let's check off some basics.

1) Is XAMPP up and running and the Apache server started? 2) When you copied the folder to the desktop did you make a copy of the folder or a shortcut to the folder? 3) What URL are you inputting into your browser to access test.php?

Shouldn't be too tough to diagnose, just keep in touch. Also, post back if you get it working yourself.

Thanks, Ken

I fixed it, there was something wrong with the file path. I just overlooked it
