Author Loads /xampp by default

I installed Xampp and then decided to remove it. I removed it using
"rm -rf /opt/lampp" which is the only instruction I can find. Now,
everytime I go to my webserver, it puts /xampp at the end. For
instance: http://192.168.1.200/xampp, whereas before it would just
bring up http://192.168.1.200. Ovbviously http://192.168.1.200/xampp
brings up an error message.

I feel like this is probably some apache configuration option to start
up in that directory, but I haven't been able to find it. I did remove
xampp and even re-merged Apache, just to make sure I was not using the
Apache version that came with xampp.

no its just the files located inside you htdocs directory, investigate
whats there and remove what you no longer want.
its probably a meta refresh in the index file

Well, I investigated and found nothing. I even deleted everything in
htdocs, since this is a test server. Still defaults to /xampp even
after restarting Apache.

so there are still parts of the old system left, did you go round
clearing up manually, for instance the httpd.conf file and all other
conf files will need to be checked for the word xampp. Htdocs was the
most likely place since xampp does do this, but the uninstall
proceedure must have left other files as well. My advice is do start
over with a default httpd.conf for your system rather than try to
change the xampp one - if you know what you are doing fine change it,
other wise it is quite insecure by default since it is for development
only!

I went ahead and removed apache all together. I checked httpd.conf
previously and there were no references to xampp. Even with Apache
gone, it still puts /xampp at the end. So it seems to be something
outside of Apache.

httpd.conf should not be the only conf file, there are a whole slew of
them one for each type of config, rewrites, per directory access, ssl
etc... the refernce to xampp will be in a file included within
httpd.conf which makes up the whole conf when apache's started
