Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello!

I've used Xampp for development/fun stuff for years now, starting in 2008 or there about. I've had close to no problems with it and I love it. Simple and easy to use, perfect!

Now, however, I am trying to have it setup as a service on my Windows 10 machine and I cannot for the life of me work out how. The usual checkboxes doesn't seem clickable, they're just greyed out.

Is there any workaround for this or is this something that has to do with Xampp/Apache itself? It doesn't seem possible for any of the applications to be installed as services.

thanks for any help!

Regards, Johan

Start the Xampp Dialog as Administrator (right click on Xampp Icon and choose "Run as Administrator").
