XAMPP（Apache+MySQL+PHP+PERL）是一個功能強大的建站集成軟體包。這個軟體包原來的名字是 LAMPP，但是為了避免誤解，最新的幾個版本就改名為 XAMPP 了。它可以在Windows、Linux、Solaris、Mac OS X 等多種作業系統下安裝使用，支持多語言：英文、簡體中文、繁體中文、韓文、俄文、日文等。
Sure! But here, Microsoft delivered a new firewall. This firewall blocks the important ports 80 (http) and 443 (https) and the server does not want to start (anymore). The fast solution: Deactivate the Microsoft firewall with the toolbar and try to start XAMPP once more.
Of course everybody also can define the own firwall exceptions in the security center. The following ports are needed for a basic functionality:
http 80 (HTTP)
https 443 (SSL)
And for all other servers in XAMPP:
ftp 21
smtp 25
pop3 110
imap 143
AJP/1.3 8009
http-alt 8080 (Tomcat Default Port)
Where I change the start page?
Document is called a folder the $path-to-xampp\xampp\htdocs. There is the index site (index.html) the real start page which is initialized after executing of http://localhost. Alternatively, this page can also be deleted and replaced by "index.php" or "index.cgi" (etc.). The hierarchy of all index pages in the XAMPP be called:
The tools for this exist with the XAMPP AddOns. Note: These additional packages work only the XAMPP main package not with the “xampplite”. At the moment there are the following AddOns:
Perl withmod_perland many DBI drivers for the respective version of XAMPP (Apache)
Tomcat withmod_jk2 but without Java JSDK. The required JSDK for that Addon was published in the download page or in the Readme. You should be installed Java JSDK before installing this AddOn!
Python with mod_python
You find all current AddOns for win32 on the XAMPP win32 download page. Besides that there are even further AddOns for XAMPP on
http:///projects/xamppaddon.
How do I check the md5 checksum?
To check whether the package really is from developer, you need additional Programs. For example the console program md5sum.exe:
Otherwise something is wrong. By the way, another GUI program is MD5summer. Please visit their homepage for more information.: http://www.
There are three "php.ini". Which is now the correct one?
The \xampp\apache\bin\php.ini is the correct one! The others in the \xampp\php directory are only for PHP in CGI/CLI mode. So configure the \xampp\apache\bin\php.ini for web changes.
Modifications in the php.ini will be saved also after the "PHP switch" (the changing of the PHP version). And note: Modifications in the php.ini and in the httpd.conf always need a Apache restart!
Help! The PV.EXE (KILL.EXE) is a Virus in the XAMPP!
No! The "pv.exe" (older the “kill.exe”) is not a Virus or a Trojan. It is a normal utility for killing processes like the kill order for Linux. We need this to stop some server like the Apache. Because the “shutdown/stop” statement do not work here without service installation. But sometimes we make a “hand start” and want to stop the Apache clean.
Problem: Some Virus scans (also like Norton) make warnings here. Because it is the name (“kill”) or perhaps some Virus/Trojan bundles contain a kill program for stopping some unwanted programs.

Not enough memory in the system environment
This kind of error message occurs only under home systems like Windows 95/98/ME and XP home. Problem: The worse memory administration of the Windows home systems allows not some applications like the "" to work with more memory that 160 kb. But our servers need more, however. Solution: Add the following line to c:\config.sys:
shell=c:\windows\ c:\windows /e:2048 /p
After the restart of your complete system please try XAMPP again. The memory of 2048 kb can be used now. That should be sufficient.
The apache does not start on my system!!!
This problem can be several reasons.
(1) You have started more then one HTTP Server (IIS, Sambar, ZEUS and so on). Only one Server can occupy port 80. So you must terminate one http server, before you start the Apache. Some error messages like this show the problem:
"(OS 10048)... make_sock: could not bind to adress 0.0.0.0:85
no listening sockets available, shutting down"
"(OS 10038)Socket operation on non-socket: make
_sock: for address 0.0.0.0:443, apr_socket_opt_set: (SO_KEEPALIVE)
no listening sockets available, shutting down"
(2) You have Windows 95 with an outdated winsocks or your winsocks is damage. At least the Apache needs winsocks 2. Please download the current winsocks by www.
(3) Sometimes the Winsock2 information has been corrupted by poorly written Internet programs (worms, virus). A Winsock2 Fix written by Tom Kynch can solve this problem (only 95,98,ME).
(4) It runs a firewall, which blocks the Apache port. In this case, some pictures or javascripts cannot load via http://. Sometimes, you must deinstall your firewall completly to fix this problem.
(5) You have XP professional without Service Pack 1. In this case the installation of SP1 is recommended urgently.
(6) You have a Virus Scan from McAffee. Sometimes it makes problems. Deactivate here McAffee for testing of XAMPP.
(7) You have other software, such as the Internet Telephone "SKYPE" which also blocks the port 80. (thanks Peter! ) However, one can change the SKYPE port: Actions -- > Options --> Connection. Here remove the check mark at "Port 80" for an alternate port. Restart Skype and also it should work. (thank Monty! )
Tip: The "xampp-portcheck.exe" displays the status of every essential port of XAMPP. The status "Free" is even free and that is okay.
My CPU load is with the Apache almost by 99%
Please, enable following line = > # Win32DisableAcceptExin the /xampp/Apache/conf/httpd.conf.
In this case correct is: Win32DisableAcceptEx
The newer Apache versions have been an improved Winsock 2 support. But it does not work correctly with the Windows home versions. The statement "Win32DisableAcceptEx" in the httpd.conf deactivate this support. Sometimes, some Windows NT systems make trouble too. We do not know why.
Pictures and style Sheets are not displayed!
With some applications (phpEclipse, phpBB etc.) are problems with displaying great files rpictures. This problem can be solvedin the /xampp/Apache/conf/httpd.confthese lines
# EnableSendfile offstage
# EnableMMAP offstage
Please activate these lines by removing #:
EnableSendfile offstage
EnableMMAP offstage
Apache restart.
Conversly sometimes, from
EnableSendfile offstage
EnableMMAP offstage
you should make
# EnableSendfile offstage
# EnableMMAP offstage
Try it out! Thanks for this solution to the forum and Kris!
This problem is often caused by the program "NetLimiter" for regulating bandwidth. Please see here the thread in our forum
I would like to install the MySQL server as a service!
I would like to install the MySQL server as a service!
Do only work under with NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
(1) Service installation: Under /xampp/mysql double-click on the "mysql_installservice.bat".
(2) Service uninstallation: Under /xampp/mysql double-click on the "mysql_uninstallservice.bat". That is all!
How I can set a "root" password in MySQL? (method 1)
In the \xampp\mysql\bin directory enter into the console:
mysqladmin -u root password secret
Ok, "secret" should be your secret password. Then update the password for PHPMyAdmin. Open the "config.inc.php" in \xampp\phpmyadmin an edit following lines:
INSTEAD OF ...
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
NOW ...
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'secret';
Ads
Set a new 'root' passwort with mysqladmin
How I can set a "root" password in MySQL? (method 2 )
Well, there is still another possibility to set the root password. Start PHPMyAdmin with http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin, open the database "mysql" (never delete this!) and use the table "user". Create here a new user or e.g. simply change the password of "root." MySQL restart! After that, do not forget to change the password in the "xampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php" for PHPMyAdmin.
How I can set a "root" password in MySQL? (method 3 )
This method based on a suggestion by Ruedi from Basel. With that: Thanks and Grüssli to Switzerland!
Tip: Resetting the password can be make also with the /xampp/mysql/resetroot.bat. After that, the password is empty means "".
Step 1: Run cmd
C:\ program files \apachefriends\xampp\mysql\bin>mysqld-nt --skip-grant-tables
Step 2: Run cmd
C:\>C:\ program files\apachefriends\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u rootflush-privileges password "newpwd"
Step 3: Stopping MySQL
C:\>C:\ program files\apachefriends\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root-p shutdown
Enter password: ****** (newpwd)
Step 4: Edit the “config.inc.php” for the access of PHPMyAdmin
C:\ program files\apachefriends\xampp\phpmyadmin\config.inc.php
Here search for "root"
'$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'newpwd'; // MySQL password
Step 5: MySQL restart
Can I use my own mysql server?
Why not! Simply don't start the mysql from the xampp package. So you can use your own MYSQL server. Please note! Two servers cannot be started on one same port! If you have set a password for root, please do not forget to edit the "config.inc.php" in \xampp\phpmyadmin for PHPMyAdmin.
Everyone can use PHPMyAdmin from outside!
In the basic configuration of XAMPP, PHPMyAdmin have a public access. You can close this 'gap' with the "config.inc.php". Open the configuration file of PHPMyAdmin and edit the 'auth_type' lines:
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'secret';
Now correctly ...
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';
Now, user and password are checked before PHPMyAdmin access the mysql server. Optionally you can set 'cookie' for 'http'.
PHPMyAdmin Login, here cookie based
Where is the IMAP support for PHP?
As default, the IMAP support for PHP is deactivated in XAMPP because there were some mysterious initialization errors by some home versions like Windows 98. Who work with NT systems should open the \xampp\apache\bin\php.ini to active here the php exstension by removing the beginning semicolon.
extension=php_imap.dll
Apache restart! That is the method for all not loaded PHP modules in XAMPP to loading it
I have problems with the reference of some classes in objects
Thank you Jörg to point to that problem! It seems the activation of the "Zend Optimizer" makes trouble here. Please open the \xampp\apache\bin\php.ini and deactivate all lines in the [Zend] section. After that, restart the apache.
Note: In the newer XAMPP versions, the ZEND extension is deactivate as default.
Other free opensource programs (CMS and so on) do not function!
Linux and Windows are different. So the crypt() function does not supported for windows and so on. Also the simple programming can be strange: For example the term 'var=Text;' functions in PHP for Linux. But for example for some older PHP for win32 you have to program 'var="Text";'. Or the interfaces are often too different. Or further necessary programmes are missing on other platforms. This is the reason why sometimes certain programmes do not work with XAMPP.
Can I delete the "install" directory after "installation"?
No, better not. The scripts here are still needed for all additional packages (add-ons) and upgrades of XAMPP.
Where is a the front page extension?
We do not know a free extension for the Apache under win32. But there is a "Ready-to-Run FrontPage Server Extensions for Unix": http://www./fpsupport/.
But often the developer in our forum knowing more: http://www./f/
I would like to move the XAMPP package into another directory!
Hmm ... If the "install" directory is present I would try the following: Copy the entire XAMPP package into the new directory of your choice. Then start here again the "setup_xampp.bat" for refresh all configuration files. Test everything! If all servers really still working here, it is okay! If not, then not and you should remove that copy!
How do I activate the eaccelerator?
Please open the "php.ini" in the directory \xampp\apache\bin\php.ini. Here activate the following lines by removing the semicolon in each line in the [eAccelerator] section:
extension=eaccelerator.dll
eaccelerator.shm_size = "0"
eaccelerator.cache_dir = "\xampp\tmp"
eaccelerator.enable = "1"
eaccelerator.optimizer = "1"
After that, don't forget the restart the Apache HTTPD!
I do not get any connection to my MS SQL server!
If the mssql extension was loaded in the php.ini, sometimes it comes to access problems when only TCP/IP is used. You can fix that problem with a newer "ntwdblib.dll" from Microsoft. Please replace the older file in the \xampp\apache\bin directory with your newer file from Microsoft. Apache restart. Thank you Horst for this topic note!
How do I work with the PHP mcrypt extension?
For this, we have opened a Topic in the forum with examples and also with some problem solutions: http://www.f/viewtopic.php?t=3012
Do Microsoft Activer Server Pages (ASP) work with XAMPP?
No! And Perl:ASP in the Perl Add-on is not the same! Unfortunately no free implementation for the Apache is available.
I would like to use Perl with MOD_PERL!
Therefore you need our XAMPP Perl Add-on with the big Perl Package plus Mod_perl. Please refer our Add-on download section
