I upgraded XAMPP from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2 using the upgrade zip package.

However, when I start the XAMPP Control Panel, I got a WARNING: Directory mismatch! But, I can still start the apache and mysql services.

I would like to know why and how to dissolve it.

Thank you.

If it's running I wouldn't worry about it, you can edit the httpd.conf file and change the dir to the full path.

thank you for your reply

i had gone through the httpd.conf file and found the directory already an absolute full path. why?

all the best,

That is what your control panel is reporting. I use XAMP Lite and I get this error every time I load it.

To get more clues, try starting apache and mysql from the command line instead of the control panel. You may see some more error messages that can help you find the problem.

Open a command window, go to your xampp directory and run apache_start.bat

Open a second command windo, go to your xampp directory and run mysql_start.bat

http://ampstart.com/ appears to be a dead link

Thank you. The link works fine now.

Take a look at my post (Draven) in this topic :
