Apache Friends Support Forum

Helo all,
Ihave windows server 2008 R2 with XAMPP 2.5 version !, i know it's old version
but the web server is in product and i need to know about one problem.
the windows service xampp can't start, it's automatic but don't start, so use xampp control panel to lunch services.
But if you logout, we can't access to the web project, and also when we restart server, we should open windows sessionand then may be also start services through xampp control panel or may be yt's already started after openning session.
so then we can't logout, and we just close windows rdp session by (x)
I think there is a problem of not being able to close the session for everything to work
how can i resolve it please.
Thanks you

Take a look into your Windows event logger and Apache error.log file.

ok i take a look and i come back
Thanks

Also look into the Windows services and find out, if APACHE and MYSQL were properly configured as service (i.e. correct path, auto start etc.). There is no magic with Xampps Apache / MySQL, these have to be registered totally normally to your Windows System as all other services. You actually dont need a Xampp Control Dialog for this, as it is a plain Windows issue.

Hi all,
I think it's special installation !:)
There is no folder of xampps in c:\programs or c:\program files
And also in the installed programs
In services.msc, there is only xampp service but it can't start as alread mentioned
Maay be it's portable application
How can i resolve this?

Xampp usually does NOT install into programs folder (neither program files), but into c:/xampp instead. To resolve your problem you have to find your Xampp installation, we cannot see your hard disks.
