please help me.. thank you.

Hi,

Please get the latest XAMPP control panel version from here and extract it into your XAMPP installation path (Overwrite files if necessary).
That should solve your issue.

best wishes,
Altrea

i extracted the Version 3.2.0 from my xampp folder but nothing happens. it still the same. what would be the cause of it? hmm.. can you help me? thank you in andvance.

Have you started the new xampp_control3.exe?

yeah. i started it and its the same.

Hello,

1. Can you start Apache via the batch file (no control panel)?
2. If not, what errors are you encountering?
3. You should resolve those path conflicts. They should not cause the error but you will not be controlling the one you want to (if that makes sense).

i fixed it. thanks

Hi, I installed the latest control panel v3.2.0 and run xampp_control3.exe, implemented all suggestions like open port 80 and 443, listen to 127.0.0.1:80, bind localhost to 127.0.0.1, etc., but I keep getting crashes with same error: EXCEPTION "A call to an OS function failed", and EXCEPTION "Access violation at address 005ABEFE in module 'xampp-control3.exe'. Read of address 00000042."

Using Windows 7 64 bit and Google Chrome.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have pretty much exhausted my options and am pulling my hair off...

try to reinstall your apache and mysql. find it in services. delete it by opening your command promt "open as administrator" and then delete it by commanding sc delete "your apache or mysql version" restart your xampp control pannel. install the apache and mysql in the control pannel. hope it works!

Hello,

If you continue to get the exception, you could get this debug build and PM me the exception details:

arion06, thank you for your suggestions, followed your steps but continue to get crashes. My development environment had been working fine for months maybe even a couple of years, but recently I applied a ZoneAlarm update and probably that combined with Windows updates messed something up. It might also be something with my app. I use Sencha Touch 2, a Javascript framework that I use with PHP and MySQl. Because of all the recent problems, I have uninstalled ZoneAlarm and use Windows firewall instead due to more flexibility opening individual ports, but still no cigar.

hackattack142, will try your debug version to see if I can determine where the crashes are occurring, thank you for your help, I will report back the results after a couple of days of testing and tinkering.

I believe this issue is resolved. I had previously not touched the netstat code because there was never any reported issues with it. After several debug builds, I patched numerous race conditions in the netstat code and redesigned various internal aspects of it. I am surprised the CP has been out for so long and this is the first time the race conditions have been heavily hit. Regardless, the fixes will be in the next CP release.
