XAMPP Object not found error

Question

I have just installed XAMPP on my machine, and when trying to access sub folders in htdocs I get the following error.

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/2.4.4 (Win32) OpenSSL/0.9.8y PHP/5.4.19"

What default security changes do I need to make in order to access child folders of htdocs? Thanks!

Does the object really exists? show your htdocs directories and the URL accessing — Drixson Oseña, Nov 12 '13 at 23:36

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.

You're having problem because the object really doesn't exist in your htdocs directory. You don't have to append xampp after localhost or 127.0.0.1 because xampp will treat it as an object or a folder under htdocs.

if you want to access your blog, make sure you have a blog folder under htdocs and put in your URL localhost/blog

This is the exact opposite of the comment that apparently helped OP. But neither work for me, whether the folder is in xampp or just htdocs. – user124384 Jun 29 '15 at 18:31
This answer solved my problem. I placed my blog under `/var/www` or `/var/www/html` but neither of these worked. Placing it into the `/opt/lampp/htdocs` worked. – Jeyekomon Jun 09 '20 at 12:19

Just make sure you have the .htaccess in your project's public directory

If you don't have the file then create one and paste the below code in your .htaccess file.

Code:-

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

    # Handle Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

The issue is the object(project) folder and it is really not in the localhost.

Check the following things (Windows User)

1. project folder in htdocs

2. spelling of the project folder in htdocs C:\xampp\htdocs\projectname

3. Public folder inside project folder C:\xampp\htdocs\projectname\public

Drixson Oseña you are right but when you newly install xampp on your system "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/2.4.7 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1e PHP/5.5.6"

However all folder in the htdocs but only open is that xampp website because of index.php error, so that's not a big deal just remove the index.html and index.php and try to open localhost again you'll be succeed.

well, i had a similar problem, so when i entered, lets say: localhost/test.php I would got Object not found warning! I solved my problem when i realized that windows changed my test.php into this test.php.txt. I changed my extension and voila! problem solved I could finaly acceses localhost/test.php.

I had recently the same issue, It might not be the same as your case, but if anyone has a similar situation as mine, somehow I deleted the .htaccess file in the root of my app, so I copied it back from a backup and it worked

Agree @Drixson Oseña: You should not write localhost/xampp/...., else write for e.g: localhost/mw-config/index.php

Make sure you also start the MySQL service in Xampp control panel. This might resolve this.

Solution for windows users: XAMPP

Go to: path:\xampp\apache\conf\extra

Open file named httpd-vhosts.conf

comment below lines if they are enabled: comment all lines in between <VirtualHost *:80> all lines between </VirtualHost

Check if you have the correct file mentioned in form statement in HTML:

For eg:

form action="insert.php" method="POST">
</form>

when you are in trial.php but instead you give another fileName

To resolve the error of object not found I searched many answers for this but of no use then i got my output to my program by slight change in the settings .I recommend you to follow this. 1.open settings 2.search file explorer options 3.Go to view in file explorer options 4.And unmark "hide extensions for known file types". it will solve the error.

You should definitely do this but it won't affect your WebServer at all! – deep64blue Aug 04 '22 at 11:25

Make sure the folder you have created inside htdocs are present there and you browse the right url.

for example

localhost/yoursitename

make sure yoursitename folder is present
