XAMPP keeps showing Dashboard/Welcome Page instead of the Configuration Page

I've just downloaded and installed XAMPP 5.6.11 and started all the tools from the control panel. I've seen that one of it's new features is that it has a Welcome/Dashboard page.

Previously, going to 127.0.0.1 would take me to a language selection page and then to a orange-yellow page where I could configure XAMPP. Now, going to 127.0.0.1 or hitting Apache's "Admin" button in the XAMPP Control Panel takes me to the dashboard/welcome page no matter what.

One curious thing: attempting to go to http://localhost/xampp/ shows me an empty directory listing. I figured perhaps my install was botched so I reinstalled XAMPP. Still no luck. Even tried installing Apache 5.5.27. Same problem.

Am I missing something?

How do I fix something wrong with XAMPP installation?

Try running localhost/filename. php Instead of running file with given address like c:/xampp/htdocs/filename. php Hope it resolves the issue.

Why my localhost is not working in XAMPP?

Run XAMPP (=> Apache) under an another port: Rename all ports with 80 to 8080 in your httpd. conf file. Your using Windows: Use notpad or editor with Ctrl+H to replace "80".

How do I open Apache dashboard?

Click on the Admin button of your Apache server to go to the web address of your web server. The Control Panel will now start in your standard browser, and you'll be led to the dashboard of your XAMPP's local host.

Open the htdocs folder there will be index.php file. In that file script is written to go in dashboard folder and show dashboard. So you just have to comment it or delete that script and write any code save it and run http://localhost now dashboard screen will not open and you will see what you have written in that file.

Delete the file(index.php) from your xampp folder, you will get the list of directories and files from htdocs folder.
