when I try to open an HTML file through `http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/index.html` it says unable to connect to localhost

html, xampp

Solution

instead of

 http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/index.html

try just

http://localhost/index.html

or if index.html is saved in a folder in htdocs then

http://localhost/<folder-name>/index.html

Problem

I have installed XAMPP , there is a `htdocs` folder and inside it `index.html` file , when I try to open it in my browser through `http://localhost/xampp/htdocs/index.html` it says unable to connect to localhost . what is wrong ?
