So something happened to my operating system that required me to format my PC.
I was able to save my xampp folder and its web files in it.
My question is, is it possible to reactivate Xampp and its web files the way it was like nothing happened? How?
Or I really have to start a new Xampp installation and do everything one by one.
Please help. I will really appreciate it. Thanks in advanced!
To be safe, just start a new Xampp installation. Important registry entries are lost when you reformat your PC.

it seams I have a rather strange problem. I have a JS one Page application with a huge media pool. The media assets have a very short update cycle. Much shorter than the code base. So it has its own repository.
I have to develop the application on Windows OS and don't have the option of a VM solution. I created a symlink to the media folter but when I start up the GRUNT Server Task he can't find the media files. I think this is a Windows issue. When I open the index.html file with the file protocol I have the exact same problem. I have no idea why Windows can't just follow the symlink. I get a 404 no matter what I do. Has anyone ever had a problem like that and maybe a solution.
The projekt is also developed in a team so I don't want to put some kind of URL rewrite into the server configuration because it maybe wouldn't match the system of the other developers (but they also are on Windows).
Thanks for the help :)
The "mistake" was to go the simple way and create a symlink in the Windows UI by rightclicking.
By using the mklink command I was able to create a symlink that works perfectly with the Server
mklink /j <name> <target>
Thank you cartan for the help :D
I've got a strange problem. My xampp seems to run just fine, at least the control panel says so. A couple of months back I was able to use xampp properly as well. But now, if I try to load anything in htdocs the browser tells me that the website is not available.
The only things that have changed since I used xampp successfully:
I've briefly installed wampp, but decided to deinstall it again. As far as I can tell, I have removed snd deinstalled everything succesfully.
And, I'm using an other internet connection. Is there a possibility that the firewall of the modem messes xampp up?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
PS: I did not post the config files of xampp, because I haven't changed them since everything worked properly, so I hardly think that it is relevant.
Considering your problem and the information I have gathered from you.
The best solution is:
Make a backup of all your files in htdocs.Uninstall Xampp completely.Download and install once again.
Note:
Latest Xampp versions comes with MariaDB unlike mysql.Now some versions of MariaDB is unstable.This would create problems when you are actually working with database and sql queries.
Either download and install Xampp which comes with Mysql or find a version of xampp which comes with a stable version of MariaDB and the latest PhpMyAdmin version.
Reinstalling solves issues like this most of the time.There may have been some kind of server conflict when you installed WAMP.So an all new installation is best.
You could also try clearing the browser history and cookie as an alternative.
first post here.
I just got started on a windows 8.1 machine. I downloaded putty and ran the installer, but when I attempt to connect to anything, I just get an empty window. Attached is an image to clarify.
I tried a few other clients and got the same problem, although filezilla seems to work fine for ftp.
Does anyone know what might cause this problem?
Thanks,
Tracy
(PS responses in super noob language would be appreciated. I am pretty new to these things.)
update:
Looks like it won't let me add images because I don't have enough clout yet.
check that your device is not IP-access restricted. It would allow connections from existing devices, but not the new.
I have tried in vain to install JDK on a flash drive. I have seen many threads on how to do this, but, I do not see one which addresses my issue. I have JDK on my PC already. No matter if I Run from the website or save to the desktop or flash drive itself, when I double click the Java icon to install, I do not have an opportunity to select any installation preferences. It just runs the configuration then tells me the files already exist. Even when I save to the flash and click the icon within my flash folder, it still tries to install on the PC.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
There's a hacky way to do this that I don't recommend, but apart from copying the files directly to flash drive, this is the only solution I can think of. The Java installer is likely detecting your registry key for the one you already have installed. I don't recommend doing this unless you know what you're doing, but deleting the folders in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit
May have it skip the check and just install it. I recommend you write down what you modified in the registry and make sure that you can re-create it before doing this. If this works as I think it will, the Java installer should not detect the other version of Java on your computer, and you should be able to proceed with installation. I still recommend just copying the appropriate directories to your flash drive instead though, Chris B has the right idea.
Note: This is my first answer. I hope I was able to help you! If not, let me know in the comments so I can do my best to get you to the optimal solution you are looking for! :)
I downloaded xampp 1.7.3 (32) on windows 7 (64) in the programs(86) folder. both MySql and Apache refuse to run, they start and then instantly turn of. All ports are free.
So I decide to uninstall however, when i run the uninstaller I receive the following error
"Input Error: Can not find script file "C:\Program Files (x86)\xampp\uninst.temp\xampp_uninstall.vbs" XAMPP uninstall not OK
Why is there spaces in the above line and does this matter "C:\Program Files (x86)" ?
Can somebody please help me to understand the problem & uninstall xampp (or get it to work). It does not show in the control panel so I am stuck. The documentation clearly states the uninstaller should be used.
I have asked this question on serverfault but since ive had so much help here, i was wondering if anybody here knows what the problem could be?
All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Uninstalling Service using XAMPP Control Panel for 1.7.3 and 1.7.7:
Right click on /xampp/xampp-control.exe, select Run as administrator, then remove the check marks next to the service you want to uninstall as a service. The trick here is to open XAMPP Control Panel using the 'Run as administrator' option.
If you experience some issues with the XAMPP Control Panel, you might need to do this from the Command Line. See next section for notes on this.
Uninstalling Service using Command Prompt for 1.7.3 and 1.7.7:
Apache: Locate and right click /xampp/apache/apache_uninstallservice.bat, select Run as administrator, follow prompts until completed.
MySQL: Locate and right click /xampp/mysql/mysql_uninstallservice.bat, select Run as administrator, follow prompts until completed.
Additional Notes:
Much of what will work may depend on the user account you installed the service to run as. The Run as administrator may not be necessary. However, it usually does the trick.
Also, you may need to restart your computer and use the Service Manager to Manually Stop the Apache and MySQL Services before trying to run the uninstall scripts.
Let me know if this works. It may require a few attempts.
Best of Luck,
David Carroll
Never install xampp to the x86 folder on windows 7.
directly to the C drive works fine.
Solution for the time being:
System Restore or delete the folder and pretend it never happened.
You may want to try rerunning the XAMPP installer. There may have been some files in the background that corrupted or did not copy correctly on initial install, so a reinstall might help. Also, if sometimes installers will give you the option to remove their program if they detect it is already installed. That might help you get it uninstalled if XAMPP installer supports that feature.
when you unisintall xampp on windows it rest xampp server on system. you must delete it before install another. to delete it open terminal as admin and tipe this command inside
sc delete sevice_name
replace service name by the name of xampp service in your computer to get it do this
tipe win+E --> right click on desktop and select manage(gerer) --> select service in the pannel who will be open and then fin xampp, frequently the name is XAMPP Service
good luck for the rest
Try to stop mySQL service.
Try to close any conf file opened in notepad and then try to uninstall.
