kingb00zer Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 So I tried to run xampp in my windows 7 and I even downloaded what im sure was a windows 7 version of xampp, but it doesnt connect to either apache or sql. I have been trying to find my old xp install disc but it is no where to be found yet, so I need some kind of an alternative to xampp that is gaurenteed to work with windows 7. Any suggestions?

boen_robot Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 XAMPP doesn't "connect" to Apache or MySQL. It just runs them.What problem exactly did you encounter?(chances are you'll have the same with any other package)Just a guess...Do you by any chance have Skype? If you do, uninstall XAMPP (from the control panel of course), turn off Skype, install XAMPP, start it, type "localhost" in your browser to see the initial web page, and IF it works, turn Skype back on.

boen_robot Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 That shows up where and when? When you start the XAMPP control panel?Close the control panel. Right click on the control panel icon and select "Properties". Go to the "Compatibility" tab, and check "Run this program as Administrator". Run it again. You should see a UAC prompt - say "Yes" to it, and it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
