It is indeed hardcoded. It is an easy change though making it just point to http://localhost and it should retain the same functionality. I will make use it gets into 3.0.9 when I push that out (no ETA).

Is it possible to rename the src folder in the archive file as it clashes with the src folder already present in the xampp installation folder.

When extracting the archive file it asks if you want to overwrite this src file which in fact it should not be over written as there are other source files in there that may be required for some people

Renamed to xcp3src may be a reasonable suggestion.

Personally I simply drag the exe file only from the archive file to the xampp folder and then store the archive for future use if I need to look at the source code, but others may not do this.


BTW there have been several Avira definition file updates since you heard back from them, have they indeed removed the false positive yet?
I have not been able to check it as I don't have the 3.0.9 archive file now.

I can do the different folder name easily enough.

I just checked the status of the detections and they excluded it but not in the way I was hoping. They added the exclusion most likely based on a hash of the executable. That means only that compiled version will not be detected and any recompiles or translation updates will result in the false positive detection again unless I submit it ahead of time each time and wait for the updated definitions. I am still waiting to hear back from Steffen on what he did differently when he did the translations.

Uploaded 3.0.9 and updated the links in main post viewtopic.php?f=16&t=48932&p=186862#p186862 (direct download is down for maintenance at the moment and will upload it there when it lets me)

I am holding off on the German translation until i either hear something from Steffen and fix the detection or find a reasonable and free alternative.

I uploaded 3.0.10 as there was a bug in 3.0.9 that would not fully stop Apache when the stop button was pushed. I made a bad assumption about how apache listens for connections. I assumed that one of the processes listened on 80 and the other listened on 443. It turns out only one of the processes listens on both ports to service requests and the other is a parent process.

Thanks for your continued refinement of what is a much improved and most desirable Control Panel.

All we need now is for Avira to come to the party and allow those German translations or Steffen to pass on his translation secrets. ;)

Best wishes. :)

I think I have found a workaround for the translation stuff. I was under the assumption that I was required to embed the translations into the executable. This was a bad assumption. Anyone that wants to use the translation can simply extract the 'locale' folder from the 'xcp3src' folder included with the download into your '/xampp' directory and the translation should work.

Did Steffen mention this workaround in this post back in mid November?:

It looks like that is probably what he was getting at I just misinterpreted what he was saying since you need them in the same folder layout to embed them. I thought he was saying instead of embedding them externally outside of the IDE to use the IDE to compile them into the executable. I am also using all this stuff for the first time so I do not know all of their ins and outs.

Just uploaded version 3.0.11. I was able to get Tomcat working as a service after heavily modifying and moving the service.bat file in the tomcat/bin directory. The new tomcat service install/uninstall file is called 'catalina_service.bat' and should be extracted with the control panel. I included a cleaned up locale folder in the top level of the archive file that can be extracted with the control panel. The only other notable feature is changing the ambiguous grey check indicating a service is not installed into a red 'X' making it clear.

Thank you very much for the update.
I have uploaded it to my host too, so that we have a direct link mirror.

Problem with XAMPP Control Panel v3.0.2

Hi

I found a little problem in XCP v3.0.2 , problem don't exist in XCP 2.5

My XAMPP works on port 81 on my extern disk, because on port 80 on my master disk, there is another apache (WAMP).
When I use XCP 2.5 I can start or stop the XAMPP/apache and the WAMP/Apache dont be touch
When I use XCP 3.0 I can't start XAMPP/Apache because it detect the WAMP/Apache on port 80 and the button is [STOP].
When I click on STOP, of course, it don't stop WAMP/Apache
With XCP 3.0 I cant start my XAMPP/apache...

Is it clear ??

First close any control panels you have open then download, extract and then use the latest version as I believe this issue was fixed.
The link to the latest version post is below my signature.

Hello hackattack142.
Would it be possible please not to put the files and folders into a folder in the archive as we have some people who extract the CPv3 folder into the xampp installation folder and then try and run the CP from within the CPv3 folder, which causes issues and a subsequent post in the forums.

Also it would make it a simpler explanation to extract all the files and folders from the archive instead of having to explain that only the contents of the CPv3 folder should be extracted - thanks. :)

BTW have you decided on a licence for this CPv3 or is it covered by the general XAMPP GNU licence found here?
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
under the heading The license

The reason I ask is there is a post that you may like to respond to here:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49688

Best wishes. :)
