I'm pretty new to Joomla! although I have coded in PHP. After installation (Bitnami), my default url is "https://localhost/joomla/" which is not cool. I want a new URL such as "https://localhost/chagbert/". How can I change this url?

Please see how to set up a Virtual Host on your localhost: joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/4156/virtual-host-for-joomla which will look even "cooler"– LodderOct 12, 2015 at 10:20

Ok, Thank you all for the input.
I discovered that the BITNAMI Xampp installation installs the Joomla! files in "C:\xampp\apps\joomla\" which i think is hard-coded in this particular Bitnami installation.
So I opted for a stand-alone stable installation of Joomla! And this was simply a copy and paste operation into a folder whose name would be my site name under the htdocs folder i.e. "c"\xampp\htdocs\chagbert\" where "chagbert" would be my site name. Thereafter, on the browser I simply had to call this address:
And the configuration process started.
Thank you
Goto htdocs -> Here, you can change your default folder name joomla to chagbert.
