Download Xampp Control Panel Version 3.2 2
Janella Eldert
I would like to know how to change to administrator rights as my code is currently not working. I have been using XAMPP for the past 6 months and have never had this problem before. It only occurred today for the first time and I did not access any of the config files. My code is also not the problem as my team is using a shared git repository and everyone else is running the exact same code on XAMPP and they are not having these issues and do not have the same message appearing in the XAMPP control panel log.
Press the Windows-Key together with R (i.e Windows-Key+R), enter the following in the pop-up window, this is the path pointing to your Xampp.exe: C:\xampp\xampp-control.exe. Press Control, Shift and Enter at the same time (i.e. Ctrl + Shift + Enter). That will launch Xammp with Admin rights. Cheers!
Only stop My sql In Xampp For 15 Min After 15 min restart Mysql .If my sql running But Port Not Showing in Xampp then Click Config > my.ini edit this file and change port no 3306 > 3307 and save and Restart xampp .........
Everytime my MySQL starts, it will stop, then I noticed that some files are getting generated in C:\xampp\mysql\data. I tried deleting some files (like the Error logs, err file, etc.) on that directory. Back up first what you're going to delete to avoid losing data.
In my case I had xampp installed with PHP 7.4.But I needed PHP 8.I downloaded xampp with PHP 8.Installed it to C:/xampp8/ folder. When I started the new version, it started successfully.But then I realized that I needed the database data from the old xampp installation. I stopped the new xampp(php 8 version) , and tried to start xampp (php 7.4 version) and saw that Apache started and was working fine, but mysql was not starting.I tried many settings but couldn't start mysql from the old xampp.Solution in my case to copy the data to the new xamppI went to C:/xampp_old/mysql/data folder. And saw that each of my database has a separate folder inside data folder. I copied all the folders and pasted intoC:/xampp8/mysql/data/Then I started new xampp and looked in phpmyadmin via browser and I got all my databases back.
In the xampp control panel, to the left of "MySQL" there is a green checkbox, click it to uninstall MySQL service. After that you can start MySQL from the same control panel. You can install those services again, it will still work.
if all solutions up did not work for you, make sure the service is running and not set to Disabled!
Go to Services from Control panel and open Services,
Search for Apache2.4 and mysql then switch it to enabled, in the column of status it should be switched to Running
After that, start XAMPP (i.e., the XAMPP Control Panel), stop all running services such as your Apache and MySQL server, then quit XAMPP (i.e., actually close the application, not just hide it to the system tray). Finally, rename the folder that XAMPP is installed in, for example, to xampp.OLD/.
Not only services and web front ends (might) have been customized, but also XAMPP itself. To keep it, merge the XAMPP Control Panel config file, xampp-control.ini, directly in the xampp folder. Besides making both Apache and MySQL start automatically, I define Notepad++ to be my editor of choice (for config files).
I quit Xampp when I clicked Quit from the Control Panel, but when I tried to rename the xampp folder it said it was still in use.. It was still running apparently. When I went into the task tray and right-clicked the icon, I could then rename the xampp folder.
On Windows, the XAMPP activity log appears in the lower half of the control panel dialog box. You can also access the error log by by clicking on the Logs button next to the Apache Config button:
If you click on the Netstat button in the XAMPP control panel, it should show you all the ports that are currently in use, and which applications are using them. You may want to check this if XAMPP Apache is not starting:
MaxConnectionsPerChild: Like the Unix directive, this controls how many connections a single child process will serve before exiting. However, unlike on Unix, a replacement process is not instantly available. Use the default MaxConnectionsPerChild 0, unless instructed to change the behavior to overcome a memory leak in third party modules or in-process applications.
However, I am trying to add an SSL certificate for my cms.techmax.com.tr domain name that I run with apache xampp on a windows device on a remote desktop in another company, but I encounter this error.
I converted pem files to key and crt files. Then I add .crt file to windows as trusted certificate. After this, I set paths of crt and key files in xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl and its worked.
Thanks you for your help. @orangepizza @rg305
I had this problem with windows 7 . I have solved this problem with select run as administrator. right click on xampp control panel icon than check
run as administrator in compatibility section. Now every things work fine.
If you are using the self-extracting archive, after the archive is extracted, run the file setup-xampp.bat to configure the components of the package. (The XAMPP installer runs this file automatically.)
After configuration, open the XAMP Control Panel. (You can open it manually by running the file XAMPP_HOME/xampp-control.exe or from the Xampp Control Panel icon that is automatically placed on your desktop.) When you open the XAMPP Control Panel, note that the modules that are installed as services are already running.
The Svc checkboxes indicate that a module is installed as a Windows service and will start automatically on system startup. You can install or uninstall Windows services by selecting or unselecting the Svc checkbox. Uninstalling a Windows service does not uninstall the module, but it does require you to start the module manually. The XAMPP control panel includes buttons for stopping and starting modules and opening their administration consoles.
Download the latest thread-safe XDebug compatible with your version of PHP. The download links are listed under Releases. Copy the .dll file to your XAMP_HOME/php/ext directory. ( XAMPP_HOME refers to your XAMPP or XAMPP Lite installation directory, such as C:\Program Files\xampp or C:\xampplite .)
On the Apache Configuration Directory panel, specify the directory where the httpd.conf file is located, the default setting is C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache\conf\ . The PHP processing will be enabled automatically.
We can Download XAMPP Windows Installer from and start the installation process; alternatively, you can download the portable version of the XAMPP package from or even a .7z version. I chose the latest option (e.g. xampp-windows-x64-7.3.8-2-VC15.7z) to avoid the User Account Control (UAC) warning which can be disabled if you want to install the package with Windows Installer;
Will extract the package to C:\xampp and will run the setup_xampp.bat as a normal user for setup, then run xampp-control.exe as an administrator to run the Control Panel. Before starting some Actions like Start Apache or MySQL you can select the Services to Run after your Windows Restart, but this is optional.
If you have an older version of Skype you should go to the Tools\Options\Advanced\ and uncheck Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections because Apache from the XAMPP program will use that port too. Another old program that will use port 443 is VMWare Workstation Player, you will edit the httpd-ssl.conf file from C:\ xampp\apache\conf \ and replace 443 with 4430. There are two changes:
Will now change the httpd-vhosts.conf file from the C:\ xampp\apache\ conf\extra\ folder, meaning that will tell our server where the pages will be run, but this is only if you run web pages on the Internet and not from the localhost, so leave the file unchanged for localhost. I will not delete anything from the file, there are some examples and I will insert the code for the two web pages, for example, site1 and site2:
Unzip the zip archives into the folder of your choice. XAMPP is extracting to the subdirectory "C:\xampp" below the selected target directory. Now start the file "setup_xampp.bat", to adjust the XAMPP configuration to your system.
If you installed XAMPP using the ZIP and 7zip versions, shut down all XAMPP servers and exit all panels. If you installed any services, uninstall and shut them down too. Now simply delete the entire folder where XAMPP is installed. There are no registry entries and no environment variables to clean up.
A new subdirectory for your web? Just make a new directory (e.g. "new") inside the directory "\xampp\htdocs" (best without whitespaces and only ASCII), create a test file in this directory and access it with " ".
In the directory "C:\program files" you don't have full write privileges, even as Admin. Or you have only limited privileges (e.g. for ".\xampp\htdocs"). In this case you can't edit a file.Solution: Raise your privileges within explorer (right click / security) or disable the user account control (UAC).
You have installed Apache/MySQL in "C:\xampp" as Windows service. But you can't start/stop the services with the "XAMPP Control Panel" or can't uninstall them.Solution: Use the service management console from Windows or disable UAC.
