Please help o where I can find instructions

If you are working with Services, you should be running with Admin privileges.

You can modify your XAMPP Control Panel shortcut to use Admin by right-click > properties > compatibility > check Run this program as an administrator

You can also grab the latest Control Panel from the link in my signature

Thank you very much.
Problem solved starting with Administrator rights.
One additional question, I don’t know if it is for you, in this forum or no ?.
I install a virtual host
http_vhosts:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost www.foro.es>
  DocumentRoot "D:/foro"
  ServerName foro
  ServerAdmin rvc@localhost.rvc
  ServerAlias www.foro.es
  ErrorLog "D:/foro/localhost-error.log"
  CustomLog "D:/foro/localhost-access.log" combined
  <Directory "D:/foro>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

And
vhots:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 foro
127.0.0.1 www.foro.es

Calling www.foro.es the answer:
Access forbidden! ERROR 403

I will appreciate any comment
