I need to edit an existing yii app but got no idea how to setup in xampp.
I downloaded everything from the server and moved the folders to /opt/lampp/htdocs
But then i got no idea how to get the application running. When i try
/localhost/yiidirectory
It shows me the file structure so the app isn't executing.
Can you give me some advise to accelerate the problem solving ?
Since windows 7 I believe you need to use:
http://127.0.0.1/yiidirectory
If that doesn't work then check your xampp setup: http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/100/yii-and-xampp-server-on-windows/
The DNS resolver just hands back localhost so it never resolves it for the app/browser.
