Start your XAMPP server by using     XAMPP  xampp-control exe  XAMPP  apache start bat   Then you have to use the URI http   localhost index html because htdocs is the document root of the Apache server   If you re getting redirected to http   localhost xampp    then index php located in the htdocs folder is the problem because index php files have a higher priority than index html files  You could temporarily rename index php

htdocs is your default document-root directory  so you have to use localhost index html to see that html file  In other words  localhost is mapped to xampp htdocs  so index html is at localhost itself  You can change the location of document root by modifying httpd conf and restarting the server

You need to start your Apache Server normally you should have an xampp icon in the info-section from the taskbar  with this tool you can start the apache server as wel as the mysql database  if you need it

You should simply create your own folder in htdocs and save your  html and  php files in it  An example is create a folder called myNewFolder directly in htdocs  Don t put it in index html  Then save all your html and  php files in it like this-   localhost myNewFolder myFilename html  or  localhost myNewFolder myFilename php   I hope this helps

instead of   http   localhost xampp htdocs index html   try just  http   localhost index html   or if index html is saved in a folder in htdocs then  http   localhost  lt folder-name gt  index html

All created by user files saved in C  xampp htdocs directory by default  so no need to type the default path in a browser window  just type http   localhost yourfilename php or http   localhost yourfoldername yourfilename php this will show you the content of your new page
