Hi all,

after installation of XAMPP 1.8.1, I have exit this last and re-start it (xampp-control.exe) but in the xampp panel I can read the following:

11:07:54 [Apache] Apache Service detected with wrong path

11:07:54 [Apache] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first

And when I click on the 'Stop' button for apache I receive another error massage and xampp close.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Moon Dragon -

You probably did remove the Windows services from your prior installation of XAMPP/WAMP/Apache before you installed/re-installed XAMPP. You should check in Windows Service Manager for previous versions of MySQL and Apache.

Good Luck

11:07:54 [Apache] Found Path: ERROR: Not Able To Open Service Manager

This is typically the result of not starting the control panel with Admin privileges. You can modify the control panel shortcut via the shortcut properties/compatibility tab to always run as Admin or right-click the xampp control panel executable and run as Admin.

Also, consider getting the updated control panel from the link in my signature.
