PhP local host redirecting to /var/www/html/index.php

Question

I am using Ubuntu machine. I am running lampp server for php files.

I have all my PHP files in my_folder where I have all my codes in /opt/lampp/htdocs/my_folder including index file in /opt/lampp/htdocs/my_folder/index.php.

I wanted to check my codes by running http://localhost/index.php in Chrome browser, but for some reason it keeps directing me to /var/www/html/html.index file. Can someone please help me resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

add this to you apache config.

DocumentRoot /opt/lampp/htdocs/my_folder
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /opt/lampp/htdocs/my_folder>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Thanks, it now redirects to the desired path only generating the actual code in the browser. It doesn't execute the codes. What could be the reason?

Check you php by put the info.php in your rootpath, then access it.

Adittionally, If MySQL doesn't start:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd stop
sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
