Files not showing in htdocs - mysql

When creating a new database through PHPMyAdmin and trying to access localhost/newdatabase, I get this message:
"Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server. If
you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404 localhost Apache/2.4.34 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.1.0i PHP/7.2.9"
The file doesn't show in xampp/htdocs either, only in xampp/mysql/data.
If i create files directly in htdocs, they work perfectly on localhost/.
Why has the file not been created in htdocs?

The content of the htdocs folder are files that can be interpreted by the browser such as HTML5, CSS, JS, etc... in order to show a webpage along with it's funcionality to whoever accesses it. A database in the other hand can't directly be opened by a browser, but rather accessed within the server by a backend language like PHP, in order to get the information that can be stored in it through tables. You seem to be new to web programming, so I'd recommend to quickly google some beginner tutorials that can help you to understand the most important concepts. To take on from your kind of confusion, I'd point you to expand your knowledge on these concepts:
HTML5
CSS
PHP
MySQL
Once you get the grasp of them and identify each by their core funcionality, you'll be good on your way to make webpages. Later on you'll find yourself with demands like making your webpage look nice and clear, and also to make it load fast, but there's time for everything and the concepts I pointed are the best start for you.

if you wanna open your database URL = http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
File directory ~ xampp/htdocs for source code such as extension file .php .html .js or other.
if you wanna load localhost a URL is http://localhost:80 (auto find index file to first load)
Sample given as image folder for my code. Hope that can help you to understand xampp

my wepApi giving error when I try open my psd html file

I Have wepApi project but I want to use it with adobe photoshop.So I design to web site with adobe and after I convert to html file.But When I try to open it with localhost it's giving me error.But it's working on live server.
enter image description here
I never used before abode but I have to for one project.So maybe someone know what is the solution?
There are several potential causes for this problem. Here are a few potential answers:
Ensure that your local machine is running a web server. The HTML file won't be able to connect to your API without a web server.
Ensure that the URL you are using to access the HTML file is correct. The format should be "http://localhost/path/to/file.html."
Make sure your web server is operational and properly configured if you use one.
Make sure your HTML file is free of syntax mistakes. To check for issues, you can use a tool like the W3C Markup Validation Service.
I hope this is useful.

server not reading css and js files

I have created a website using css, js and jquery, and everything works fine on my local machine, but after uploading it to the server, it was only reading the index.html file, leaving out the css and js. Below you can see the website's structure, after being uploaded to the server, on FileZilla.
enter image description here
I have decided to delete everything, re-check the paths and upload them again, but now all I get is a "403 Forbidden" message, saying that "You don't have permission to access / on this server."
Check file permissions of all the files.
Triple check file paths
/www/style.css
./www/style.css
^ Notice this dot
The above are two completely differnet paths. My guess is, that the second one is the correct one and should lead to style in your specific example

Embedding images on mediawiki

I have tried to embed an image on mediawiki that I have installed on my server. The images are in this folder /var/www/html/mywiki/images$.
Here is the screenshot of what I see when I save the page to view the image
When I try the upload option, this is the error message i get
[b5f5e4d3] 2016-10-25 12:30:15: Fatal exception of type "MWException"
Where could i be making the mistake?
From my experience with mediawiki, when you upload to the site it stores them in randomzed lettered/numbered folders... ie w/images/9/9d and you have no control over uploading them directly to the folder through your server. I haven't tried directly uploading them, I've always used the wiki itself to upload.
MediaWiki offers some extensions for bulk uploading here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Bulk_upload
And you can find them under Special categories once you've installed the Extension and updated your LocalSettings.php to allow them to run.
I personally use BatchUpload (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleBatchUpload) because I don't have a lot of files to upload at one time, and although it is marked as stable, it sometimes sticks... still better than uploading one at a time.
If you find an alternative way for mass uploading using FTP directly to the server, I would love to know... as I searched for that myself.
Good luck!
You should not upload images manually, but use Special:Upload page to upload image into Mediawiki. Error you've mentioned indicates that there is something wrong with your installation, so you should put $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; into LocalSettings.php to see more details about this error. There is a chance that your /images/ directory is not writable - check its permissions.

Get .html filename of a website with Firebug

How do I find the filename of an website I am inspecting with Firebug? As example when I look on http://example.org/ I can view inspect the Element, I see the whole html structure but I didn`t find the filename. I am searching for index.html or something in that way. Maybe this is an analog question, but I am not sure, because he/she is working with php. LINK
I know there are some solutions with Dreamweaver or other tools but I am searching for an easy way to figure that out with Firebug or an free Browser Add-On. I Hope you have a solution for that.
The URL you entered is the one that usually returns the main HTML contents. Though on most pages nowadays the HTML is altered using JavaScript. Also, pages are very often dynamically generated on the server.
So, in most cases there is no static .html file.
For what it's worth, you can see all network requests and their responses within Firebug's Net panel.
Note that the URL path doesn't necessarily reflect a file path on the server's file system. It is depending on the server configuration, where a specific URL maps to in the file system. The simplest example is the index file that is automatically called when a domain is accessed. In the case of http://example.org the server automatically loads a file index.html in the file system, for example.
So, in order to get the file name on the file system, you need to either check the server configuration or the related access logs.

How can I find my working directory?

You'll have to bear with my slightly on this, but please ask if I have left out any pertinent information. I have just taken over a project to create a dashboard for my team. This dashboard has been made using a niche third-party tool that nobody here will have used before. The third party tool auto-generates some code to display "markers" on a webpage. "Markers" being some proprietary code to query a database/apply custom styling etc.
I am trying to display a webpage within the page that has been generated, and I’d like to point this to a local webpage (ie on my C drive). If I pass it an absolute path, then this results in a warning in IE9 as I am mixing data sources - a https website pointing to a http web page. It will display after ignoring the warning, but my userbase is not comfortable enough with computers to ask them to do this.
I believe if I pass it a relative path then it should work, but I can’t find out what directory to base this path off and it doesn’t appear to be anywhere obvious. So, in my current page I have an image with the web address of : https://website:8443/websitereport/images/buttons/locked.gif. What I need to know is where the “websitereport/images” folder is stored so that I can put my webpage in there to give the webpage a relative path. The HTML for this image is :
<img id="dvp_locationbar_lock" class="dvp_imagebutton" style="" dvp_title="ui.tip.lock-page" dvp_image="locationBarPageUnlockedImage" src="/websitereport/images/buttons/unlocked.gif" title="Lock this page">
What are my options for discovering where this folder is stored locally? I am running Apache Tomcat 7.0. It is not displaying if I use the path based off
C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\work\Catalina\websitereport
of
\websitereport\page.html
And I cannot find it anywhere obvious in the Apache folder. I have tried :
Searching - no results.
Using PHP to print the current working directory - cannot find out
where to edit the webpage.
Looking at images/information on the existing webpage. They all point
to folders I cannot find.
Inspecting with firebug.
In short, you can't rely on the files being on disk at all - they might be just contained in a *.war file, containing the whole application. Or they might be generated on-the-fly, despite the name sounding like an actual file.
Also, you should not arbitrarily write within a directory even if you find it (my closest guess would be tomcat's webapps/websitereport/ directory if it exists) because nobody will know that something changed during the time since last deployment. So, on the next update of the application, you'll end up overwriting all of your changes again. You typically change the underlying application and redeploy.
You might also find a few references in tomcat's conf/localhost/ directory or even in conf/server.xml, but it all depends on how your server was administered
