dont place it in XAMP ...
if you install easy website
then you get a folder
c:/website/
in that folder you see a few other files
c:/website/start.bat
if you click start.bat ( if xamp is shutted down) then you see a new disk in my computer
a disk called W:
open W:/www/ and place there your files
then it should be fine
it is your php version that is not working like it need to be
or upgrade/downgrade your php version to version 5.4.22 or 5.2.19
create file info.php
put this in the file
Code:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
and see if you also got the following modules loaded in the php info page
Code:
'./configure' '--enable-pdo=shared' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-mysql-sock=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' '--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config' '--with-pdo-mysql=shared' '--with-pdo-sqlite=shared'
if the version is not 5.4.22 then upgrade or downgrade to a other version like version 5.2.19
