How to auto start Apache and MySQL in XAMPP

[joboy]

Hi,

I am a new member of this forum and new to XAMPP for Windows as well. First, I want to say thanks to people behind this great tool, xampp relieved me from lots of burden.

Just want to ask on how to make Apache and MySQL automatically start every time I will boot the PC? I don't know if it is only in my case or it is how xampp configured it, thus I need to access xampp's control panel to manually start apache and mysql. Thanks.

1. Use AMPstart http://ampstart.com to start XAMPP
2. Add AMPstart shortcut to Startup group

-open the XAMPP Control Panel (via start menu or installation dir)
-tick the SVC ckeckbox next to Apache and MySql
-done

It is surprising to know how simple to change the "settings". I'll check this stuff when I got home after work.

You provided me valuable feature with the link you gave. Xampp is not just "easy" but also "portable".

Thanks for the replies.
