Hello.
This question might very well have been asked before, but I can't find it.
On my home PC (Windows 7), I've installed xampp USB Lite 1.7.7 on a USB key. Everything there works fine.
Now, I'm trying to run xampp on my work PC (Windows XP SP3, but it's most likely unrelated to the problem). I have both Apache and MySQL installed on this PC, but both services are definitely stopped (I've verified this by trying to navigate to localhost, and by browsing MySQL databases with SQLYog; neither are connecting).
In the xampp control panel, when trying to Start either Apache or MySQL, the version that actually starts is the locally-installed version, not the USB version. I see the local htdocs in my browser, and the local databases in SQLYog.
My first thought was that unchecking the Svc checkbox in the xampp control panel might solve the issue, but I'm unable to do that; the checkboxes are disabled, so I can't uncheck them.
Any ideas?
Dan.
