Download Xampp Without Admin [CRACKED]
Morgana Castrillo
I try to deploy an custom Apache/Mysql/Php bundle to multiple Windows 8 laptop on non-administrator accounts. Apache will listen only to localhost incoming request. i.e. the user will run a browser to
Apache will not be run as a service, so no problem there.The only issue I'm having is that Windows Firewall is blocking httpd.exe and asking to allow access which can only be done with a administrator account.
Mysql is running without issue on port 3306 with no firewall rules, and Windows Firewall did not block it, so I'm assuming that when listening to only localhost, Windows Firewall should not block the process, am I correct ?
I am running XAMPP which comes with a little "XAMPP Control" app that lets me start and stop Apache and MySQL by clicking a button. When I do that, I'm prompted by Lion for my admin password. Is there a way to skip this step? (On Windows, this is sort of like me asking "how can I run the XAMPP Control program in administrator mode?" --not sure if there's an analog for Mac.)
So, i was wondering if there is any way i can permanently start apache and mysql for the Mac system, using admin password once. And offcouse and stop it when ever required using amdinistrator password again.
I wanted to write a simple php/XML webapp that can be used on a desktop machine with no admin rights. It's for daily data entry stuff myself and others have to do when certain tasks are completed. Its a work machine and security is super high so can't have the details traversing the internet to my hosting.
Regardless of what language you use, in order to have a webapp, you need a web server of some sort, to listen to requests and send a response back (even if it's just listening to localhost). It is possible to run php from a command line without a server, but I don't know if you want to convert your application to a command line one.
It's weird, because when I start cmd as an admin it works. But I want it to work always, because its much easier to write cmd to navigation path which opens the command line in exact path I use and don't need to write cd commands every time I need something.
The front office works fine, no problems at all, but the admin page comes up blank, just dark grey. I turned on _PS_MODE_DEV_ but no errors are displayed. There are no errors in the PHP or Apache error logs. View source of the blank admin page shows standard header stuff and a few s in the body but no content.
It turned out that when I copied the live site onto my PC a couple of folders were not copied, one of them was /admin/themes/default/template/controllers/login, which appears to be responsible for displaying the admin login screen.
new here and have problem... ...:
I have installed newest xampp 1.9.0 on Win7 pro 64bit laptop without any problems except alert information that I have turned on UAC service, but when I checked, such service is not turned on!?
Nobody knows !??! ...very disappointed !
btw... I have reinstalled xampp 7.0.6 because I've seen that 7.1.9 is not supported, and now Apache works stable, but all problems with magento CMS are still there !!!
I was smart enough to lock myself out of my own Nextcloud installation by changing my password.
It runs on a managed hosting account and I do not have any root privileges.
I was the only admin, but there is a second, non-admin user, that I can still use to get in via the web UI.
I then found this article (in German) which basically says, that you could copy the password of a different, existing user to the admin user via phpMyAdmin within the user table oc_users.
I tried that, but for some reason that table does not contain the two users I created months ago and have been using ever since. It only holds one user that I created initially, when installing Nextcloud in the first place.

Alternative idea for the used USBWebServer Component.
Uniform Server seems to be pretty fine - see
Looks better documented, has more features and an active community but is also a standalone wamp server which requires no admin rights and can also run from an USB stick if needed.
BUT: USBWebServer is really a very simple solution which runs out of the box and has no bells and whistles. Uniform Server has more features but more features means also more ways to break the server
But if somebody wants to run more than one web project on the local machine then Uniform Server is perhaps more flexible.
And yes I know I can also use Docker which is sometimes even the better solution. But Docker requires admin rights on the local machine and has some requirements like Hyper-V or WSL2. A simple wamp server does not alter my system and is highly portable.

However, local software can be just as vulnerable to malicious activity, and by default XAMPP typically ships without a root password for the MySQL database. Adding one and changing it regularly can help keep your data secure and prevent the loss of hours of hard work.
Apache for Windows contains the ability to load modules at runtime, without recompiling the server. If Apache is compiled normally, it will install a number of optional modules in the \Apache2.4\modules directory. To activate these or other modules, the LoadModule directive must be used. For example, to activate the status module, use the following (in addition to the status-activating directives in access.conf):
You can also tell Apache to restart. This forces it to reread the configuration file. Any operations in progress are allowed to complete without interruption. To restart Apache, either press Control-Break in the console window you used for starting Apache, or enter
Mapped drive letters allow the administrator to maintain the mapping to a specific machine and path outside of the Apache httpd configuration. However, these mappings are associated only with interactive sessions and are not directly available to Apache httpd when it is started as a service. Use only UNC paths for network resources in httpd.conf so that the resources can be accessed consistently regardless of how Apache httpd is started. (Arcane and error prone procedures may work around the restriction on mapped drive letters, but this is not recommended.)
5) Close your terminal and then look for your file, htdocs_open.sh, on your desktop. Double click on it. A window will pop-up asking for your password. When you type it in the xampp htdocs folder will open along with root privileges.
I have on my new device Windows 11 and i installed XAMPP so i can run my localhost for PHP and MySQL.
When i use mPDF , it needs to write temp files in a folder (C:\xampp\htdocs\invoice\vendor\mpdf\mpdf\tmp).
And then i get 'Fatal error: Uncaught Mpdf\MpdfException: Temporary files directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\invoice\vendor\mpdf\mpdf\src\Config/../../tmp" is not writable in'.
in Windows 11 i then checked the permissions and i changed my personel settings to full so read and write should be posible.
when i test it stil nothing. the PHP files work correct , on a Windows 10 device and online this works all fine. only on my local W11 this is a problem.
To be shure i made a PHP to check if folder exists , to list up whats in it and if thats ok if i have write permission and everything is ok exept the permissions.
Cool, almost there. Close down xampp, and open it with Admin Rights. Instead of opening it by double clicking, right click on the xampp icon, from the context menu select run as admin, and give the start up a try.
I have changed the file name in FTP as suggested and am able to log into the WordPress admin, but as soon as I change the file name back to the original, the error comes back. Which means I am not able to deactivate / reactivate plugins one at a time.
Thanks a lot for the information. I had activated Google reCaptcha v3 in Ultimate Member and was not able to login to the wp-admin using super admin details. I just renamed the directory recaptcha under directory plugin from FTP and the trick worked, it allowed me to login and disable Google reCaptcha v.3 from dashboard. Thanks a ton.
It is possible to run the program without admin privileges for normal operations. For instance, we can manually grant permissions for our users on the app folder in the ProgramFiles and/or registry keys used by the program.
For this program to work normally, administrator permissions are necessary. So, to resolve this problem, we have to manually grant the modify and/or write permission for a user on the app folder at the NTFS file system level.
Here, we can use RunAs with the saved administrator password using the /SAVECRED option. However, it is insecure because users can use these saved administrator credentials to run any program on this computer.
We can force the regedit.exe to run without the administrator privileges and suppress the UAC prompt. For that, we simply drag the EXE file we want to start to this BAT file on the desktop.
Then the Registry Editor should start without a UAC prompt and without entering an administrator password. If we open the Task Manager and add the Elevated column, we will see that there is the regedit.exe process without the elevated status.
