You haven't provide us details of your problem. Please share the flow you have followed to install CI.

Hello Rajeev ! Instead of using Xampp (you can keep it though), use `Spark`. You will find all the info you need here: https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide...nning.html

If you really want to use Xampp, copy CI to the folder `xampp\htdocs\`, for instance in 'xampp\htdocs\codeigniter4`. Then run Xampp and open `http://localhost/codeigniter4/www` in your browser. This is the overall principle.

Take a look at Laragon i'm sure you won't go back to XAMPP after that, I didn't anyway.

i'm using CI in two ways : Desktop

with codeigniter in a directory called "CI" on Desktop ; if your on linux its a simple matter of
$ cd Desktop
$ cd CI
$ php spark server
//that starts up dev server and tells you addresss to go to eg:

bash-5.0$ cd Desktop/CI
bash-5.0$ php spark serve


CodeIgniter CLI Tool - Version 4.0.0-rc.3 - Server-Time: 2020-02-24 04:28:08am

CodeIgniter development server started on http://localhost:8080
Press Control-C to stop.
[Mon Feb 24 10:28:08 2020] PHP 7.4.1 Development Server (http://localhost:8080) started

so simply put http://localhost:8080 in the address bar (top) of a web browser


One simple advantage of running from Desktop if your on Linux is that xampp is usually installed
at something like /opt on linux and since it it not located in /home/user space everything comes under root permissions which is a total pain when running your linux OS as a normal user and try to edit anything.




The other way i'm using it is not xampp; but simply using the inbuilt apache server

Spark doesn’t require Xampp. It has an integrated web server.
The advantage of using Xampp is to be able to use it for other projects/frameworks.

The other advantage of Xampp is that you can create a development server that is exactly (or nearly so) the same as the production server.
