I currently using XAMPP 5.6.19 (32 bit) on Windows 10 Pro x64.
thks in advance

In your XAMPP control panel click the red cross in front of the components you want to start as windows service

What can I do if I cannot click this crosses? This option is unavailable, what is wrong? I've installed Xampp locally, on MS Windows Server 2012, everything is working properly except it.

There are two requirements for enabling this feature:
- you need to install the full version (not the portable or lite version)
- You need to start your control panel with enhanced administration rights (rightclick -> run as Administrator)

Ok.. Is there any simple way to change lite into full version?

No, changing always means complete reinstallation.
But there is an easy way to activate the possibilities to set services.

Open your xampp-control.ini and search for a section [EnableServices].
Each Module named here with the value 1 is enabled to set services.
So for example if you need the services for Apache and MariaDB/MySQL this is the minimum configuration needed:

Code: Select all

[EnableServices]
Apache=1
MySQL=1
