Apache exiting on log off

[mamathak]

Hi, please help me as i am new to Apache and don't know much about it.
I have installed Apache and started both apache and Mysql - didn't had any problem.
But its stopping both of them as soon as i log off from the machine. Is there any way i can prevent them from doing it??

Thanks,
Mamatha

You have to enable Apache and MySQL as Services, otherwise they run as executables - and terminate as the user session ends.

Click the Svc check box the next time you start XAMPP and OK the dialog box as each service is installed.

Good Luck and Happy Holidays
