Apache Friends Support Forum

Dear Friends,

I have installed Orangescrum in our Organisation with XAMPP control panel. However we want to convert the Apache and mySQL into services. The services are currently disabled due to which we are not able to convert them into services. Could you please let me know if you have any solution .

Hi,

You need to run the full version of xampp, not the portable one.
start the control panel as Administrator (rightclick -> run as Administrator) and click the related red crosses in front of the modules you want to add windows services for.

best wishes,
Altrea

I am using xampp-portable-win32-5.6.24-2-VC11-installer.exe version. Please let me know the version and installer

Windows services need a full system path to map to. Because that does not make any sense for portable xampp installations (for example on an usb pen) it is disabled by default.
If you don't need the portable functionality you can also change xampp control panel the way to allow setting services, like so:

Dazu öffnest du die Datei xampp-control.ini in einem Klartexteditor
Dort suchst du die Sektion [EnableServices]

- Open your xampp-control.ini in your plain text editor
- Search for the [EnableServices] section and set each module you would allow to set services to 1.

For example if you would like to set services for Apache and MySQL, the section would look like this:

Code: Select all

[EnableServices]
Apache=1
MySQL=1
FileZilla=0
Tomcat=0

Keep in mind that Windows services are not portable usable. You cannot move your xampp folder if there are any services setted.
Windows services need full system paths, be sure that your xampp installation is not put somewhere in a user dependend folder like your Windows Desktop.
