    Hi! I've given the source code for a web site. I've to host it to localhost(in XAMPP) and test the site. I've installed XAMPP and copied whole source code to htdocs folder of XAMPP installation. Now I've to run the website from localhost. For this I need to know which file I've to call from the browser. Where will it be embedded? Sorry if this is a silly question. I don't know anything about web programming.

      If you have a file default.html in \xampp\htdocs you should be able to view it in a browser using http://localhost/default.html

          You need to put all your files and folders into that folder. All web sites must have a default or home page, and this is the file you should use to access the site initially.

            start with this http://localhost/ If your http server found the starting page it will reply to your browser. If it does not it will give you a list. As far I can recall in XAMP directory listing are default settings. By the way. If there is no index.php or index.htm or index.html or whatever it is defined in http.conf then this website will fail in public because user from outside dont would not seek for any file they will just enter the address
