The Wamp Server icon(shortcut), that was im my Desktop, is missing.
The folder still there (C:\wamp).
I restarted my PC and it was no longer there.
Any idea why did it happen?
My computer it is not shared, and there are no .exe in wamp folder.
I'm using W7
You can always create a new chortcut by right clicking on desktop and New -> Shortcut... and the path put in C:\WAMP\WAMP.EXE. The why it happened... if the computer is a shared computer it could of been removed by another person.

I am using MacBook Air. I installed the xampp but it's not working.
After some research, I found the URL http://localhost:8080/dashboard/ and I am getting the xampp. Now I am confused where should I get htdocs folder to add my code. Can anyone assist me?
Let's talk about in details
I downloaded the xampp from this link https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
and I move it on the application. Now I am getting the xampp icon in application.
Then I open the xampp and I got a popup like and I click on start
I enable the 8080 port number.
Then I just I checked in the browser http://localhost:8080/dashboard/ and I found the xampp dashboard page.
Now I am not getting the htdocs folder. would you help me out in this?
I too have had lots of confusion setting up XAMPP on my Mac.
Things the docs said would work, just plain did not.
The short answer to your question: In MacOS X the htdocs dir of the virtual server is in:
/Users/<YOUR-USER-NAME>/.bitnami/stackman/machines/xampp/volumes/root/htdocs
More complete instructions for getting the server up:
Open up the XAMPP Application
Under General/Services start the XAMPP services
Under Network make sure to enable a port config (I chose localhost:8080->80)
In the Volumes "tab" click "Mount" beside /opt/lampp and then you can click "Explore" to open a finder window to the virtual server.
This will cause the virtual Network-Drive 192.168.xxx.yyy to show up in the Finder sidebar which has a single folder named lampp
Additionally a new external drive named lampp will also be available in Finder.
However you get to lampp, put your source-files in the htdocs folder.
Links that DID work for me on first launching:
http://localhost:8080/dashboard/
http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/
http://192.168.64.2/dashboard/
Links that did NOT work, in spite of docs claiming otherwise:
http://localhost/ or http://localhost/index.php
http://192.168.64.2/phpmyadmin/ <--Access Forbidden 403
A little late to the thread but I hit and solved this issue and I believe the OP had downloaded and installed the wrong version. At the time I am writing this, the link on the downloads page is for .dmg file is a VM file, or at least missing features of the full download. Instead of downloading that, go to the more downloads section
Once there, choose the version you need for your OS. This, and some mysql tweaks that are answered in multiple connected topics got me running.
Your XAMPP is working fine. You have to use Finder to go to htdocs.
Follow these steps -
Open the XAMPP application and hit "Start" button.
Make sure everything is proper by hitting "Go to Application".
Now you should see the dashboard on your browser, if not, restart the application and try again.
Go to Finder and on the sidebar you should see a volume labeled "192.168.64.2", go there and you will find a folder named "lamp".
See under the locations section
Inside lamp there will be htdocs, where you can place all the files you want the browser to access.Click on lamp
For some reason I should change some values in my php.ini but when I applied changes nothing happened.I Google that problem but I realized Apache need to restart but after restart my Apache nothing happened.
I really need to solve in this problem .I installed VMware before I installed xampp in my computer i tell that because i guess xampp and vmware are not working
well together.
have you opened the php.ini in and administration mode? Sometimes a simple notepad is not saving the file properly. Try installing Notepad++ and open the php.ini and while you're saving a prompt should pop-up asking for admin privilege and reopen the file.
I installed windows 10 on my computer.
Every time I restart my computer, my all new files disappear
and my desktop is empty!!!
Is it a bug or setting issues?
How can I restore my files back
Thanks in advance!
You somehow corrupted your explorer.exe or changed a registry setting :
If you corrupted explorer.exe, best bet is to do a repair or system restore.
To check if explorer.exe is set to your shell:
Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up task manager. Click File>Run new Task.
Type REGEDIT, click ok.
Click the plus sign (navigate through) entries:
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-SOFTWARE
-MICROSOFT
-WINDOWS NT
-CurrentVersion
Click the folder WINLOGON
in the box to your right, find the entry Shell.
If the data correspondig to it is not Explorer.exe, double click Shell and modify it to Explorer.exe.
Close the registry,
Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up Task Manager.
File>New Task. Type explorer,
click ok.
I think something is gone wrong by the installation. You can look for the files in C:/users/"you username"/desktop if they arent show there you can try other users in the /user/ directory. Maybe you have a bit of luck and the files are stored by the wrong user by some weird reason.
In the most cases the best solution is to reinstal Windows 10. I think it is faster than looking for an solution. (when you havent install a lot of software)
How you can restore your windows (clean instal) it is explained in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzTNjs8k15Q
Make sure you have an backup from your data ;-)
(sorry for bad english, iam from holland ;-) )
yes it looks like the installation process has not been taken place properly without any interruptions.
The most convenient solution in my experience is:-
1.search locally 'recovery options'through windows 10 search icon on the left bottom corner
2.click "get started" button under "reset my pc".
3.select the option "keep my files".
then once you are safely back in windows 7, again start the process of updating to windows 10 in a fresh manner WITH the pc plugged in to power and with a stable internet connection.
Today I've been starting to use MAMP PRO for Windows, it's in alpha right now.
But im trying to make Dynamic DNS work, which doesn't seem to work for me.
Every time I start up MAMP PRO, I get the following error:
MAMP PRO has detected that access to hosts file is blocked. MAMP PRO needs access to hosts file to work properly. It is probably blocked with Antivirus program or restricted user privillages. Please close MAMP PRO, set your Antivirus program or user privillages (so that access to hosts file is writable) and start MAMP PRO again.
I did try toggling my antivirus off, and I did set permissions to writable, executable, readable etc. to every user on my machine.
I also tried to run MAMP PRO as administrator.
Any ideas and/or suggestions?
Thanks!
Have you unchecked read-only on this file?
Make sure file is not read-only. Navigate to %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\ and right-click -> Properties on hosts, and un-check Read-only
Take ownership of the file (May be unnecessary, I did this first before finding Read-only). Right-click -> Properties -> Security -> Advanced -> Owner -> Edit, and then select your name and OK out of all prompts.
I also gave full permissions to all users on the system, as you mentioned.
I tested this on Windows 7 with MAMP Pro, after experiencing the same problem. This got me up and running, hope it helps.

Is it possible to instruct my windows 8.1 machine to open links like these:
smb://c:\path to some folder\
in windows explorer?
Right now, Internet Explorer automatically comes up in response to a request to open smb:// link and says No apps are installed for this type of link (smb) - [Look for an app in the Store]
(The reason I have this problem is because I use mediawiki on my machine and have links to folders and files on some pages. I'd like to be able to click them from any computer on my network and be able to see the file/folder right away).
Many thanks.
Suppose you have a link like:
smb://a.b.com/public/
In windows you can open that in the file explorer this way:
\\a.b.com\public\
