3,065 PointsCant access HTDOCS in xampp
How do access the localhost folder in my browser when I run XAMPP? The way to do it was to search localhost/ and then you can see the folders within the htdocs folder. But when I search localhost/ I get redirected to localhost/dashboard.
Ive also tried localhost/80, localhost/8000, localhost/etc. Is there a new way to do this?

http://localhost will land on the index.php for the XAMPP dashboard. If you want to see your project files you need a sub directory in htdocs containing your project files (including an index.html or index.php) and go to that url.
For example http://localhost/yourProject
If you want to access a particular file you can add it onto the end of the url
