    • C:\xampp\htdocs (Windows)
    • ~/xampp/htdocs (Mac/Linux)
  3. Right-click inside the htdocs directory and select "New" > "Folder" (or "New Folder" on Mac).
  4. Name your new directory (e.g., "mynewsite").
  5. Click "Create" to create the new directory.

Method 2: Using XAMPP Control Panel

  1. Open the XAMPP Control Panel.
  2. Click on the "File Manager" tab.
  3. Navigate to the htdocs directory by clicking on the folder icon or typing the path in the address bar.
  4. Click on the "New Folder" button (or press Ctrl + Shift + N on Windows or Cmd + Shift + N on Mac).
  5. Name your new directory (e.g., "mynewsite").
  6. Click "Create" to create the new directory.

Method 3: Using Command Line (Windows only)

  1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator.
  2. Navigate to the C:\xampp\htdocs directory by typing cd C:\xampp\htdocs and pressing Enter.
  3. Create a new directory by typing mkdir mynewsite (replace "mynewsite" with your desired directory name) and pressing Enter.

Once you've created the new directory, you can access it by visiting http://localhost/mynewsite in your web browser.

Remember to replace "mynewsite" with the actual name of the directory you created.
