hello members, when i stop apache and mysql the system went well, but when i go to the botton to xampp icon and write click it and select quit, xampp just crashes as the images shows
Thanks for reporting it. If you have been modify any options from the XAMPP Control panel that tool is trying to write those options in the the INI file.
This was a change that fixes a security issue in Windows Platforms CVE-2020-11107 reported by Maximilian Barz. XAMPP Windows versions lower than 7.2.29, 7.3.16 and 7.4.4 allow an unprivileged User to access and modify its editor and browser configuration. An attacker could modify the "xampp-contol.ini" to set a value to a malicious .exe or .bat file that is gets executed after another user tries to open it via the control panel. We, as XAMPP maintainers, decided to drop that write privilege to the ini file for non-administrators in Windows to prevent that vulnerability.
There are some possible workarounds: - Enable back the write privileges and to be aware of this potential issue - Modify the ini file with an editor the properties you need or - To run the XAMP Control panel as administrator
We will investigate if we can modify the XAMPP Control panel to avoid that error message.
I had the same problem, but resolved by clicking " Run as Administrator " . How do I get to run it As Administrator automatically ? Appreciate your advice. Thanks
