Hello,
I would be grateful forhelp and advice for solving the following problem running xampp 1.7.7 under Vista SP2.
0) UAC turned ***off***
1) xampp installed to C:\xampp (xampp 1.7.7 installer VC9)- received confirmation of successful installation
2) clicked on Control panel icon - successful
3) clicked Apache Start - Apache started Port 80
BUT a) Start did not change to Stop
b) No 'running' on a green background
4) went to Firefox (10.0.1) and entered http://localhost
blank page displayed BUT no error messages
5) back to control panel and clicked MySql Start - MySql started Port 3306
AND a) Start changed to Stop
b) 'running' on green background
6) clicked Status on Control panel :
Status.
XAMPP Application status 1.1.2.2
httpd State 0 Service 0 State 0 Thread e8 Op 0 Port 80
mysql State 0 Service 0 State 0 Thread f0 Op 0 Port 3306

mercury State 0 Service 0 State 0 Thread 0 Op 0 Port 25
java State 0 Service 0 State 0 Thread 0 Op 0 Port 8080
Looked OK but I was surprised to see the 'java' but I assume that that was because I have JRE installed
7) clicked on MySql Stop -- MySql stopped and Status became:

attempted to stop Apache by clicking on Apache button again
