when I type localhost in my urlbar firefox appends /xampp to it and gives a 404 I do not use xampp help please
I use Apache2.2 with PHP not xampp, however firefox appends the /xampp to the urlbar when I type localhost, I can type the exact address in the urlbar and it works but this really bothers me. I used xampp at one time but found I did not like it, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled Apache and php from their respective zip files. This just started happening

Hmmm, I still think it's most likely a redirect from the server. Is there an index.php that could contain a Location header?
Can you use the Firebug add-on (Net tab), or an external proxy like Fiddler2, to view the request and response?

Perhaps there is some detritus in an .htaccess file in the root of your localhost site? You might also check httpd.conf.
thank you for your answer, I have looked through htaccess and httpd.conf I can find nothing that references xampp

Thank you there was a an index.php that I did not write, I deleted it and it took care of the problem, man I can't believe I overlooked that, thank you again.
