 i installed xampp on my computer and when i go to http://localhost. it seems to work
however, how do i set up the configuration file so that i can have access to the pages of my websites tests.

this is when i type http://localhost/mywebsite that it shows the file list instead of showing the index.htm page.

before i installed Xammp, the document root was var/www/html (where all my websites folder were located) but since i i installed Xammp, the document root seemed to have become, somehow, /opt/lampp/htdocs/. if i leave my websites folder in var/www/html and i type http://localhost/something, it says not present on the server. when i move the website folder in /opt/lampp/htdocs/ and i type http://localhost/something, then it display the directory contents of the folder without launching the index.htm file to display the page.

Furthrermore, i was able to enter in phpmyadmin, but when i want to create a new database, it tells me :

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

any idea what is wrong ?

i tried to add privileges, but it is the same thing after that.

Is there any tutorial that explain how to setup the configuration files :

/opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf The Apache configuration file.
/opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf The MySQL configuration file.
/opt/lampp/etc/php.ini The PHP configuration file.
/opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf The ProFTPD configuration file. (since 0.9.5)
/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php The phpMyAdmin configuration file

Help please !!!!!!
