#18031 — VSCode, Liveserver and Chrome

I'm using VS Code for creating my PHP files.  I'm trying to get
liveserver to work with PHP files.It works fine with an HTML file.  I
have installed the live server extension in chrome and the live reload
button is on.  When I go live in VSC all I get in Chrome is a
directory listing. I am using a default XAMPP installation.  

What is the actual server address that should be entered in Chrome?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Liveserver doesn't seem to have a PHP processor built-in. What is wrong with using
Apache/PHP etc?

If you read the message you would see that I am using XAMPP for the
PHP server.

Apparently, some variation of http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/

At least, according to the XAMPP FAQ

Thanks Lew.  I tried both of those and all I get is a directory
listing.

You get a directory listing if you just request a directory and do not 
have a default home page (often index.html) in that directory.

This is an Apache configuration problem and has nothing to do with PHP.

First of all, I'm not a XAMPP user, I prefer a OS that comes with simple 
install all php/mariadb/apache.

At least in the world most used OS, apache comes with a default 
configuration which enables index.php as a default page if the php 
module is loaded (-D PHP).


> This is an Apache configuration problem and has nothing to do with PHP.

Could be that the OP just don't have a index.php but say default.php as 
the starting point of his site in which case the error should be between 
the keyboard and the chair.

Yes, I have alll  these things.  I can run PHP directly from the
browser and I also run without any problems from Netbeans.  It's Live
Server that I couldn't get running in Visual Studio Code.

I posted here because I thought one of the mnany PHP programmers here
might use VSCode as their IDE and could give me a little help with
Live Server.  Because this does not seem to be the case, I will
continue with Netbeans.  Thanks for trying to help.

From the FAQ (at https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_windows.html)

Where should I place my web content?

    The main directory for all WWW documents is \xampp\htdocs. If you put a
    file "test.html" in this directory, you can access it with the URI
    "http://localhost/test.html".

    And "test.php"? Just use "http://localhost/test.php". A simple
    testscript can be:

    <?php echo 'Hello world'; ?>

    A new subdirectory for your web? Just make a new directory (e.g. "new")
    inside the directory "\xampp\htdocs" (best without whitespaces and only
    ASCII), create a test file in this directory and access it with
    "http://localhost/new/test.php".

See other post.
Plus, you might also look at the faq question

"What are "Automatic start pages" for the WWW directories?"
    The standard filename for the Apache function "DirectoryIndex" is
    "index.html" or "index.php". Every time you are just browsing to a
    folder (e.g. "http://localhost/xampp/"), and Apache can find such a
    file, Apache is displaying this file instead of a directory listing.

Note that last line
