I suppose you have Windows:

E.g. your installation path is c:\apache
Per default your document root is c:\apache\htdocs

If you want to install XOOPS then copy everthing into
c:\apache\htdocs
It looks then the following c:\apache\htdocs\xoops\...

You also can change your documentroot within the file
c:\apache\conf\httpd.conf to anything you want.

Now you start your apache, open your webbrowser and as url type ocalhost. Now you will see (hopefully) an default apache start page.

For setup XOOPS please follow the XOOPS installation instruction. .../xoops/docs/INSTALL.html

I type localhost, the apache page is on so one problem solve.

I try to follow the install guide but thehttp://yoursite.com bugs me. What site? I don't have a site yet. I put the content of html on C:\Apache2\htdocs\xoops

I start the Apache and I don't know what to type on the browser. R we tring to tell me I need to type as it ishttp://yoursite.com?

I'm a programmer but a real newbie with CMS stuff and especially web.

I think you should just type

http://localhost/xoops

or you could move just the contents of the XOOPS folder up one directory to the root and then it's just

http://localhost

Hope this helps.

You can move up all the content from xoops/html up to c:/apache/htdocs

or

type localhost/xoops/html

With a normal webserver installation, the webserver first looks for a index.html (or index.htm) then for index.php.

I, for myself have old stuff within my document root and didn't want to bring the XOOPS stuff up to my document root.

I changed my index.php within the document root to the following:

<?php
include ("xoops/html/index.php");
?>

So I only type localhost, which brings me to the XOOPS thing.

Your Apache installation isn't configured to accept "index.php" as a directory default page.

Look in your Apache documentation about changing the directory index in the config file.
