i just recently installed latest version of xampp only to discover that when i go to my page to run a personal project i get redirected to a url where it says the page can not be found?
i have tried changing my ports not sure where to turn its driving me insane i posted on the xampp forums with no luck in getting any help.
has anyone had this issue beofre i am well aware when i visit other pages the php code gets displayed and not actually tried to be proecessed by the server.
It sounds like a redirect problem, is anything showing in the PHP or Apache error logs?
On a side note I highly recommend you use a Linux set-up for development, a virtual machine or even vagrant would do, this is to ensure your project runs locally the same as it would on a live host
My guess is that there is a fatal error causing the redirect to page not found. The default server configuration is typically a 404 for fatal errors. Check the apache error logs. Also, I second twiggy’s recommendation regarding using a vm. Using a vm is more sophisticated and “correct” way of doing local development than xamp.
