win7 64 : control panel failure and skype
Posted: 01. September 2011 23:09
hallo,
i have win7 64 bits and skype launced at startup.
just installed xampp and control panel displays an error message :
status check failure 3.
this program must be run from your xampp directory
an icon is however in status bar so i can open and click on button "start apache" but it doesn't start.mysql is ok.
i have found that it is because of skype.
i have seen that alternative ports for skype are 80 and 441. apparently it is not an alternative because it blocks xampp.
i have unchecked these ports in skype.
i still have failure at start but now can run apache and mysql and see my php.
can you please tell me why control panel displays an error and if it is advised to configure apache and mysql as service,... I am new in the php field.
is there a version for win7 64 bits ?
best regards
marc
