To deploy a Next.js application on XAMPP, you will first need to build the project using the "npm run build" command. This will create a production-ready version of your application. Next, copy the contents of the "out" folder generated in the build process to the "htdocs" folder in your XAMPP installation directory. You may need to configure the base path of your application in the index.html file to match the path where your application will be hosted on XAMPP. Finally, start your Apache server in XAMPP and navigate to the appropriate URL in your browser to view your deployed Next.js application.
