Apache Friends Support Forum

I have download Apache server, bought some books, and now a course. Unfortunately for me my books and course are a little behind the current version of Apache. 1. I can't locate the Welcome Screen they are talking about. 2. I can't find the MySQL prompt. Can anybody help me locate them?

The "old" (orange) Screen has been removed, simply enter http://localhost in your browser to see the new welcome screen (it is called "dashboard")

I am not really sure about, what you mean, but if you are looking for the MySQL Interpreter Prompt, start a terminal (cmd.exe) in Windows and enter "c:/xampp/bin/mysql".

You could use the XAMPP Shell (Button in control panel) to open a predefined command line.
This command line already added the mysql bin folder to PATH so you can use it right away without going to the mysql bin path before.
