XAMPP keeps showing Dashboard Welcome Page instead of the Configuration Page

Question

I ve just downloaded and installed XAMPP 5 6 11 and started all the tools from the control panel  I ve seen that one of it s new features is that it has a Welcome Dashboard page   Previously  going to 127 0 0 1 would take me to a language selection page and then to a orange-yellow page where I could configure XAMPP  Now  going to 127 0 0 1 or hitting Apache s  Admin  button in the XAMPP Control Panel takes me to the dashboard welcome page no matter what   One curious thing  attempting to go to http   localhost xampp  shows me an empty directory listing  I figured perhaps my install was botched so I reinstalled XAMPP  Still no luck  Even tried installing Apache 5 5 27  Same problem   Am I missing something

Open the htdocs folder there will be index php file  In that file script is written to go in dashboard folder and show dashboard  So you just have to comment it or delete that script and write any code save it and run http   localhost now dashboard screen will not open and you will see what you have written in that file

Same issue here  comparing the htdocs xampp folder in 5 6 11 with 5 6 8 I saw all the files there are missing in 5 6 11  Copied the entire htdocs xampp folder from 5 6 8 to 5 6 11 and worked fine

I was also experiencing the same issue  5 5 24 was the latest version that worked for me  The Apache Friends blog has a post  https   www apachefriends org blog new xampp 20150723 html  that mentions the newer versions shipping with the  Dashboard

http   sourceforge net projects xampp files   The old version  but the desired function will be sufficient   Uninstall version 5 6 11 and downgrade to version 5 6 8

This works in Windows  didn t check Linux but don t see why it wouldn t work  Download the zip files for 5 6 8 portable   Unzip the files and copy the xampp htdocs to the xampp htdocs in your install directory

Hey here is the solution for windows 7    You need admin rights to make changes to the hosts file  Right click on your favorit text-editor and select  run as administrator  before opening the file  Open the following file  c  windows system32 driver etc hosts   Enter the line    127 0 0 1 localhost    Next  Define a virtual host in  xampfolder apache conf extra httpd-vhosts conf   lt VirtualHost  127 0 0 1 gt    DocumentRoot  c  your document root    ServerName localhost      lt Directory  c  your document root  gt        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI       Options All        AllowOverride All       Require all granted      lt  Directory gt   lt  VirtualHost gt    Restart your apache  Now you can enter http   localhost in your browser and access your page    Pro-Tip  You can use other names as localhost or have multiple localhosts this way  Just enter the names in the hosts file and define your virtual hosts

MAC  check the  Applications XAMPP etc httpd conf file there is a section that by default is commented out  Search for  Virtual hosts   If you delete the   in the next line  like in the picture  you should just need to restart apache and then you re good to go  uncomment to allow virtual hosts
