The requested URL /xampp/ was not found on this server.

I have a running XAMPP(lampp) in the /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp directory.

I have downloaded xampp 1.8.2-4 from here

I start xampp by sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start/stop so whenever I hit localhost it redirects me to localhost/xampp

Now the problem is when I hit localhost/xampp its showing

Not Found
The requested URL /xampp/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.6 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

the problem is my localhost is now pointing to /var/www/index.html not to /opt directory

Apache is starting when I type in the terminal: 

$ service apache2 start
* Starting web server apache2

Now, after stopping XAMPP by

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

when i hit localhost its fetching index.html from var/www directory with a message

It works!
This is the default web page for this server.
The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

How can I make my XAMPP responds with 

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

How it can be resolved?

apache2

  1. You must change DocumentRoot in VirtualHost

    File is /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin web@your_site.com
    DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/htdocs/your_site"
    ServerName your_site.com
    ErrorLog "logs/your_site.com-error_log"
    CustomLog "logs/your_site.com-access_log" common
</VirtualHost>
