Posted 10 months ago #You need to put wp in a folder and then call it with something like that:
http://localhost/folderit's actually best if you make subdomains, but that's a bit more complicated. open xampp\apache\conf\extra\http-vhosts.conf and add for every subdomain something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "d:/xampp/htdocs/haoooa" ServerName folder.localhost </VirtualHost>obviously you need to adjust folder and d:/ to fit your needs.
This bit needs to stay like this:
NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot "d:/xampp/htdocs" ServerName localhost </VirtualHost>Then open c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and add something like this for every subdomain:
127.0.0.1 folder.localhost
make sure you leave
127.0.0.1 localhost
intact like it is. Obviously, this is only valid for a windows systems. Then stop apache using the xampp console and activate it again. Your subdomains will now be available with something like this:
http://folder.localhost
Enjoy! -

i have xampp installed in c:/ -
Like @travel-junkie said, it will be:
http://localhost/xampp/wordpress
Assuming your wordpress files are in a directory called wordpress

techstar.com
i want to include my blog's name in the url u said..when the users type in and my wordpress is in c:\xampp\htdocs

If you are trying to use xammp installed on your local computer and connect that to the internet so that you're running your own internet-connected server, then you have a lot more to do. That's not a simple process if you are not a skilled server admin.
It would be best to get an account with an inexpensive host (bluehost for example) and set-up your site there

You can't just install Xampp, install Wordpress, and expect anyone on the internet to be able to see it. As figaro said, you have a lot more work to do if that's what you're trying to achieve. The address for YOU to view WP locally on your machine however is exactly what travel junkie told you... http://localhost/the-name-of-the-folde-rcontaining-wordpress

It's a little difficult to write out the exact proces.
Read the apache friends support forums...there is a lot of information there and they may be able to help you better understand this process.
