I am using Xampp and in my htdocs directoy I have a folder called 'task4u'. If I go to http://localhost, I'll get forwarded to the page of 'task4u' (which is a Symfony 4 application).
In htdocs I have now created a new folder for a new website but I still get forwarded to the directory 'task4u'.
I have checked the windows file 'hosts' but there is nothing related to this issue.
Where could that forwarding be set? Is that because of Symfony itself maybe?
Windows host file contains only a redirect to 127.0.0.1 (loopback address) for "localhost" (or you can configure more redirects to 127.0.0.1).
You have to give a look to httpd.conf Apache file; it should be under this path for a XAMPP installation: C:\XAMPP\apache\conf\httpd.conf. Open httpd.conf with a text editor and change it with your new directory path under DocumentRoot C:/your/path and < Directory C:/your/path/>
Remember to restart Apache server by XAMPP interface.
