I installed XAMPP on my computer to try out some PHP coding and when I open my index.php file this error appears on the web page:

<?php

	if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && ('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])) {

		$uri = 'https://';

	} else {

		$uri = 'http://';

	}

	$uri .= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

	header('Location: '.$uri.'/xampp/');

	exit;

?>


Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(

But when I open the index.html file, the web page says:

 IT WORKS!

Has anyone had this error before?

Are you sure apache is loading the good directory?

There is nothing wrong with your installation. what happens is that if somethings not right, the index.php shows the text "Something is wrong with the XAMPP installation :-(", but if it suceeds, it takes you to /xampp directory. Everything is depending on the "exit;" php command in end of the code, if it run the exit, the "Something..." is never shown.

Hello,

I believe your issue is that you are not viewing the page through the web server's IP/host address, but directly, and not interpreted.

Try to type in http://localhost/index.php (dependent on index.php being within the server's root folder, i.e. htdocs, or www) and see if that redirects you to the "it works" HTML page, generally that is the main issue you would see in those installations.

Yes you see your looking at the source code, this code is processed when you visit http://localhost/ the text at the bottom is only shown if the PHP code isn't executed (the PHP code redirects you to https://localhost/xampp/ before the text below it is shown).
