xampp在htdocs中显示文件夹为空

Question

I have a folder called myfiles in htdocs and this folder contains a file with name home.php. When I open http://localhost:8080/myfiles/ it was showing no files in it. After trying few things, somehow I get a thought of changing the file name to home1.php and then the file are being displayed. I am not able to figure out this, that why this is so. Can anybody put some light on this.

Answer 1

home.php is one of the default index page to show in apache settings.

If you will check xampp/apache/httpd.conf file you will find the following code

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.pl index.cgi index.asp index.shtml index.html index.htm \
                   default.php default.pl default.cgi default.asp default.shtml default.html default.htm \
                   home.php home.pl home.cgi home.asp home.shtml home.html home.htm
</IfModule> 

If you want to remove home.php as index you need to delete it from the above code and then need to restart the apache.
