Error when Installing Magento using XAMPP

[linczenson]

Hi @zoe_chatzivasil 

It's about file in xampp\htdocs\mystore\pub\static
it should look like this:

https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/2.3-develop/pub/static/.htaccess

Please also make sure that you have mod rewrite enabled:

You can find it here how to do it:

I hope it will help.

@linczenson 

yeap, file is the same.

mod rewrire was enabled. I changed  

AllowOverride None

to 

AllowOverride All

restart xampp..but nothing changed

[zoe_chatzivasil]

Well,

I had to install again both XAMPP and Magento, but this time i went for older versions, Magento 2.2.0 to be more precise, and XAMPP php 7.2.0.

Setup was smooth and looks functional now, admin login page and frontend looks ok.

Only problem here is that something is wrong with the CSS. Both admin login page, backend and front end looks...broken.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thank you

Hi @sangeetha_ramte,

There are bin folder on the root for magento2. 

You can directly run magento commands from root folder: 

php bin/magento

You will get the all magento commands list from above command. 

I hope it will help you!
