12,930 PointsXAMPP Install and wordpress signin
Hi, I'm having a problem with my XAMPP and Wordpress signin, I have XAMPP installed and running, I've started both the Apache and MySQL on it, but when I go to lacalhost, it automatically goes to localhost/dashboard, and I get my XAMPP dashboard, Ive tried going to localhost/testsite, and there is not a link for localwp.com link, so I can't signin and start an account there. I checked my phpadmin page, and it looks okay, there is wpuser there, but I can't go on to signing to wordpress locally! What can I do, and what did I do wrong? Thanks so much for any help offered!

11,927 PointsFirst of all did you save your file in the right extension? Most people only use XAMPP for PHP or wordpress. If you save your file in a PHP extensions look for it like this localhost/testsite.php

11,927 PointsYes, save the file by sublime (save as) and make sure the file extension is correct... If it is a PHP file it goes like this .php or index.php. Because the program when you run it always look for an index file first... That also goes for HTML files... index.html

12,930 PointsI got it! I had to transfer my sites file into xampp htdocs right? They didn't exactly show that in the video, but I got it. Thank you SO MUCH for putting up with a dense beginner! :)
