I was trying to open the xampp home page today on my dev box and I got the following error -

Warning:
file_get_contents(lang.tmp)
[[function.file-get-contents](http://localhost/xampp/function.file-get-contents)]:
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\index.php on line *2*

I initially thought I had corrupted my install, but just for the heck of it, I thought I would google the error and see if anybody had a similar error. Good thing I tried… I would have wasted a lot of time, reinstalling and enabling eclipse debugging with xampp. I remember I had to go through hoops to get that to work. I will post an article soon on how I did it.

Well the reason my xampp home page stopped working was because the lang.tmp file got deleted somehow. Use the link “http://localhost/xampp/lang.php?en” to recreate this file. You should have a working xampp home page again.
