XAMPP is unable to start Apache or MySQL on a windows 7 system when run from a flashdrive.
The control panel indicates that the server is starting, but it never actually comes online. Additionally, the control panel process refuses to end; Task Manager end tasking is required to make it stop.
Is there a specialized setting either in XAMPP or Windows that needs to be made to achieve operation? Is there a version incompatibility? Anyone know a way to get this running?
Try XAMPP Lite -- it has all of the main features of XAMPP, and runs flawlessly from a flash drive.
Be sure to select "no drive letters" during the setup process to maintain portability.

I'm trying to get started with WAMP server on a Windows 10 computer. When I try to launch the WAMP application on the computer, I get an error message that says This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
The WAMP icon in the taskbar tray is orange, with 2 of 3 services running.
I am still able to access the WAMP dashboard through localhost in my browser.
I've gone through and installed all the required Visual C++ redistributables to no avail.
I've enabled both the .NET frameworks.
I've installed Microsoft DirectX.
I've restarted the computer.
I don't have Skype.
Running as an administrator.
Some of the things I tried might be completely useless, I was just watching a few YouTube videos about how to resolve this error.
It says in 'services.msc' that it's mySQL that isn't running. Only MariaDB and Apache appear in services.msc, but I'm still able to access phpMyAdmin
Does anyone know what could be the issue? I'm just about at the stage of uninstalling WAMP and starting again, or maybe trying XAMPP instead.
UPDATE: I reinstalled WAMP entirely, and now I have a green icon in the taskbar, with all services running, however I am still not able to open the WAMP application as per the above question. Can I use WAMP without using the desktop client?
Mysql server 5.7 not starting on windows 10 after latest update
I ran in to this problem. If the HandyCreative solution doesn't work it might be a much simpler issue. In the search bar type in IIS. Open the Internet Information Services program that shows up as a result. On the right hand side click STOP. If you have IIS running you can't run MySQL.
yes, restart services like mysql, IIS by going -->run --> services.msc - restart service's in there. Can you look at the event logs when you try and start mysql. Is there any errors?
I am trying to install the Oracle MySQL Server and Workbench on a server computer running Windows 2008. For some reason I just can't install it - can someone give there opinion on the problem - I am uploading pictures of the installation process.
I downloaded the 32 15.8M version
Agreed
Here is where the first problem appears. The only two options I can actually choose are Default and Custom . i chose Custom because the only thing I can install is MySQL for Excel..
Custom
...
...
And at the end there is nothing installed
After choosing the setup type and product features, Do you get a chance to see the attached screen? with all components downloaded? installation image
If you could see that and click on execute the product must be installed.
-Don't forget to check if
*your account has Admin privileges to install.
*The machine in which you are trying to install has access to internet via installers
-If you still face the problem i would suggest you to download the file of size 230MB and try installation with that.
Hi all I am using xampp v3.2.1 in windows 7. I want to start it automatically as windows start, but not able to do it.
I tried the solution provided here but not find anything in services.
I have installed xampp in D drive is this the reason why apache and mysql is not showed in services when open the services.msc from run.
I have tried it from the xampp control panel from the config button I check the checkbox to autostart but it start the services when I start the xampp control panel, not when system start.
So how can I do this, is there any way to do this. Please let me know.
And I also want to do the same thing in windows server 2008 however right now it is installed it in the ** C Drive** of the server but i want to install it on the D drive on server also.
I'm also using xampp v.3.2.1 with windows 7. I have installed it on my C drive and I can see Apache and mysql in services.msc and both appear with auto start, maybe you should try to install in C drive.
Look at this response, It can be helpful to you: How to start Apache and MySQL Automatically when Windows 8 comes up
Start the control panel using "Run as administrator", then you can install apache, Mysql as a service.
At first, I use Struts 2 to develop a website in Java web technology. So I installed Apache Tomcat as the localhost server and MYSQL as the database (MYSQL here is the full application from mysql.com, not the packages like XAMPP or WAMP...)
But now I switch to learn a little bit about PHP so I install WAMP full package. When I start all services of WAMP and go to browser and type localhost, everything work fine
But when I go to localhost/phpmyadmin, it seems to connect to the old MYSQL application in my computer (what I've used in Java web). And then I restart computer and use MYSQL Workbench (in the MYSQL application), but now it connects to the database of WAMP package, and I can not connect to the old database (in Java web) anymore
The solution is remove WAMP but I need WAMP for PHP
So I just want to ask how can I use MYSQL application and WAMP package together (MYSQL application for Java web and WAMP package for PHP)?
Thank you and apology for my bad English!
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1 and open my (Configuration file) and then navigate to
[client]
port=3306
Change this to
[client]
port:3307
This will make phpmyadmin to run on 3306 and Java-Mysql to run on 3307
You can of course keep both XAMPP and WAMP running together keeping in mind that you have changed the default ports for either of it to some other ports rather than 80,443 and 3306, but sometimes it could create conflict as when you install some other third party softwares or enable certain services that run on port 80,443,3306.
The best alternative here would be to install one of the servers inside a virtual machine with network configured as "host-only-adapter" so that from the base machine you could access XAMPP/WAMP installed on the virtual machine by just pointing the ip-address of the virtual machine through a web-browser.
or,
If you want to run both XAMPP and WAMP together on the same machine but access only one of the servers at a time then you could go ahead installing both of them one after another. But, keep in mind that before installing the other server you have to completely stop all the services running from the XAMPP or WAMP control panel then quit the application. After this step you can go ahead installing the other server without changing any configurations or port numbers. This is because in this case we assumed that only one of the servers would be accessed at a time. Hence, before launching the other server one has to completely quit the application that is running currently by stopping all of it's services. If skype is installed then one has to change the default incoming connection ports to other than port 80 and 443.
Like mentioned above, if at all the intention is to access both servers up and running concurrently then taking advantage of a virtual machine would be the best to avoid conflicts and a long-term troubleshoots eventually.
If you messed up changing ports and config files then you could end up with the following error while trying to access phpmyadmin from XAMPP control panel:
**mysql said: Cannot connect: invalid settings. xampp**
note: while launching the servers , run it as administrator else some services will not start properly.
"I TRIED INSTALLING BOTH XAMPP AND WAMP ON WINDOWS 10 AS SUCH AS POINTED BY MANY THREADS I CHANGED THE DEFAULT PORTS FOR MYSQL & APACHE XAMPP AS IT WOULD CONFLICT WITH WAMP ALREADY INSTALLED ONLY ENDING UP UNABLE TO ACCESS PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. THEN REINSTALLED XAMPP WITHOUT CHANGING ANY CONFIGS OR PORTS. STOP THE WAMP SERVICES, QUIT THE APP AND THEN LAUNCH PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. AT LAST IT WORKED!. THE PROCESS LOOKS SHORT THOUGH WHEN IN REALITY IT TOOK ME COUNTLESS HOURS AND PAIN RESEARCHING ON THE WEB AND TESTING FOR A POSSIBLE SOLUTION UNTILL I CAME UP WITH THIS."
Hopes, this quick tips and guides would be helpful.
