hello
I have a xampp server running on my windows machine
recently trying to upgrade the store webpanel to 2.0
however, in the installation instruction

Point the http root dir to the /public folder or Setup a .htaccess file that redirects all request to public and prevents access all other folders and the .env file. Read this and google, there are a lot of tutorials .(If you dont do that, everyone can get your db credentials)

After hours of googling, i still cant figure out how to do this
my apache server's root dir is c:\xampp\htdocs
and my store webpanel is c:\xampp\htdocs\store
could anyone help me to setup the .htacess file?
many thanks

In your xampp\apache\conf\extra you have a httpd-vhosts.conf file

Add a new virtual host that points to where you have your webpanel installed


The ServerName directive sais that the webserver will show this page when it gets a request for the specified server name.

Ofc you have to make sure that the request gets to the webserver.
If you dont use a FQDN (as I do for my dev install) you could do this with a entry in the hosts file.

Dont forget to restart your apache after changing the file

PHP Code:

<VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot "F:\XAMPP\htdocs\WebPanel-Core\public"
    ServerName webpanel-core.local
    <Directory "F:\XAMPP\htdocs\WebPanel-Core\public">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
