When installing a Shopware shop locally with XAMPP, it can happen that the shopping worlds on the homepage have extremely long loading times. In the worst case, the shopping world may not load at all. I will now show you how to fix this problem.
First of all, open the file:
\apache\conf\extra\ httpd-xampp.con
Next, look for the following section in the file:
#
# PHP-Module setup
#
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
Then comment out this section by adding a # before each line. The result should look like this:
#
# PHP-Module setup
#
#<FilesMatch "\.php$">
#SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
#</FilesMatch>
#<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
# SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
In the next step, look for:
#
# PHP-CGI setup
#
#<FilesMatch "\.php$">
# SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-cgi
#</FilesMatch>
#<IfModule actions_module>
# Action application/x-httpd-php-cgi "/php-cgi/php-cgi.exe"
#</IfModule>
Here, you do the opposite and remove the # characters. The result should look like this:
#
# PHP-CGI setup
#
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-cgi
</FilesMatch>
<IfModule actions_module>
Action application/x-httpd-php-cgi "/php-cgi/php-cgi.exe"
</IfModule>
As the final step, save the file and restart XAMPP.
As always: Don't forget to clear your browser cache.
