Author Problems with apache and xampp

Hallo!
My problem is, that I installed xampp to use apache, mysql, filezilla
....
The installation procedure went well, but when I call the Windows 2003
Server by its IP-Adress (over internet or local), in which xampp and
apache is installed, I always get only the xampp starting page with
dokumentation and FAQs.
I tried to modify the httpd.conf in that way, that the path points to
my html-files, but it also doesn`t work. I also tried to copy my
html-files into the folder \xampp\htdocs, where html files normally
should be located. The result is the same.
Has someone made the same experience like me and can help?

Thanks

there are two places where you need to modify the htdocs path in the
httpd.conf file
also comment out each of the include lines at the end of the
httpd.conf so that you wont cause yourself problems
xampp is insecure by default it is not meant to be on show over the
internet unless you lock it down

there are faqs on the site about how to do this.

(what i would do is use httpd-vhosts.conf to define the document root
for your files and then delte all the xampp content you find, and
comment outxampp.conf because there are many aliases defined there
which use files not even in the document root you describe above.)
then provided you have your DNS pointed at the 2003 server for the new
domain in vhosts you have set up you will see everything just fine.
