Apache Friends Support Forum

1. I open the control panel
2. I click "Start" for Apache or MySQL
3. "Running" and "Stop" appear and "Admin..." becomes clickable
4. I do not click "Stop"
5. "Running" and "Stop" disappear and "Admin..." becomes unclickable

What is going on?

go to your xampp folder and run apache_start.bat and post back any errors you receive.

It says two lines in dutch and:

Please close this command only for shutdown.
Apache2 is starting ...

I runned mysql_start.bat

http://localhost/ loaded in dutch then, I chose portuguese and, in the status page, there was an unnamed activated component, then I chose english and, in the status page, there were no unnamed activated components. "HTTPS (SSL)" was the difference.

Apache and MySQL are running, but I open xampp-control.exe and the "Start" buttons are clickable and the "Admin..." buttons are unclickable.

When I open apache_start.bat or mysql_start.bat, they run, but when I start them from the control panel, they do not run.

I can run Apache from the control panel, but not MySQL. I do not know what I did to be able to run Apache from the control panel. It just happened.

When I Start MySQL from the control panel with Svc unchecked, Running appears and Admin... becomes clickable, but when I open Admin..., Svc becomes checked, Running disappears and Admin... becomes unclickable.
