Windows Problem with setting up root password

[Kani]

I have read tutorials to go to http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php and setup my password but it displays:

Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 404
localhost
Apache/2.4.18 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2e PHP/7.0.5

Stop using Xampp.

--- Pro's Solutions --

1 - (Easiest ) Use UniForm server.
2- Setup manually MySQL and Apache-2

However not this is seems to be wrong httpd.conf configuration since it tells you no php file.

Your index.php in the htdocs folder should look like this

<?php
    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {
        $uri = 'https://';
    } else {
        $uri = 'http://';
    }
    $uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
    header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');
    exit;
?>
Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(

You should also have an xampp, forbidden & restricted directories inside of the htdocs folder, if these folders are missing or empty then you need to re-install/extract xampp.

Codex NG which xampp version do you recommend? Or it does not really matter?

i would most likey listen to salvi dodo.
Use Uniserver.
i always used xampp before but as i used uniserver first time i was like " oh shit is it this easy? "
also (i've heard) xampp is not as safe as uniserver (dont take my word for it might be wrong here )

 

[Kani]

I will have a look at Uniserver, but to be honest all the tutorials and what not I have come across all use xampp, therefore if I need to refer to a tutorial or something it might be different or would it not matter don't know, I'll have a look.

Depends on the php version you are using.

You can install the latest version if you are using an acc like znote or geisor.

Or if you are just testing generic code and don't want something as bulky you can download an older version.

So I downloaded Uniserver, it worked fine and I got into phpmyadmin but for no reason without changing anything and doing a fresh install whenever I press phpmyadmin I get an error on chrome... it worked and I created a database but for some reason it stopped working. Skype is off. Maybe a different version of uniserver might do it... help anyone?

The localhost page isn’t working
localhost is currently unable to handle this request.

HTTP ERROR 500

Yes, i had the same problem and apperently some others aswell..
@SlayingWorld helped me out and if you need help with anything he made a tutorial and stuff you can watch
but he told me to download this version of uniserver 11_8_2_ZeroXI

look at this and see if its the same problems and then download the other version to perhaps fix it.
