Problems shutting down XAMPP on Win32 XP
Posted: 30. May 2011 18:07
I am using XAMPP on WinXP 32bit +SP3 [i.e. xammp-win32-1.7.4-VC6-installer.exe] installed after uninstalling a previous version.
When I close XAMPP Control Panel Application by the [Exit] button the xampp-control.exe process disappears from the Windows Task Manager - no surprises there. If I close XAMPP Control Panel Application by the Windows button at the top right of its window (or just Alt-F4) the process remains in the Windows Task Manager, making restarting XAMPP Control Panel Application problematic.
If I made the mistake of shutting down by the Windows close button (or Alt F4) I would prefer if it shut down completely.
