Apologies for writing in English. My German is too ropey.
I have installed xampp v 1.6.7 on my pc running windows xp sp2. I installed the packages in c:\xampp.
I don't get any error messages during the installation. The apache, mysql and filezilla are started up as services. Apache and mtsql appear to be running fine. I had to allow them to have full access as my virus software scuppered running it with limited access (outbound-only access)
I try the welcome to xampp page which works fine. I check the status of apache and mysql and both are running fine, which is confirmed by
Congratulations:
You have successfully installed XAMPP on this system!
However, I get the message that something is wrong with the xampp installation. I have seen it suggested that one can manually go in and edit the path to php (in a .conf file). However, there were not enough instructions for me to follow what one had to do.
The FAQ for the xampp windows installation suggests that one could possibly edit the php.ini file. However, one needs to know what one is doing. I don't.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the xampp package few times. It hasn't made any difference.
I would be grateful for any suggestions of what to try next.
