Xampp install

Method A: Installation with the InstallerUsing the installer version is the easiest way to install XAMPP.After the installation is complete, you will find XAMPP under Start | Programs | XAMPP. You can use the XAMPP Control Panel to start/stop all server and also install/uninstall services.The XAMPP control panel for start/stop Apache, MySQL, FilaZilla & Mercury or install these server as services.Method B: "Installation" without the InstallerUnzip the zip archives into the folder of your choice. XAMPP is extracting to the subdirectory "[Ziel]\xampp" below the selected target directory. Now start the file "setup_xampp.bat", to adjust the XAMPP configuration to your system. If you choose a root directory "C:\" as target, you must not start "setup_xampp.bat". Like with the installer version, you can now use the "XAMPP Control Panel" for additional tasks. I want to start XAMPP without setupIf you extract XAMPP in a top level folder like "C:\" or "D:\", you can start most servers like Apache or MySQL directly without execution of the file "setup_xampp.bat". Not using the setup script, or selecting relative paths in the setup script, is preferred if you are installing XAMPP on a usb drive. Because on each pc such a drive can have an other drive letter. You can switch from absolute to relative paths at any time with the setup script. Start, stop, test the XAMPP serversThe universal control center is the "XAMPP Control Panel" (thanks www.nat32.com). It is started with:\xampp\xampp-control.exe As you know this from older XAMPP versions, you can also use some batchfiles to start/stop the servers: Apache & MySQL start:\xampp\xampp_start.exeApache & MySQL stop:\xampp\xampp_stop.exeNur Apache start:\xampp\apache_start.batNur Apache stop:\xampp\apache_stop.batNur MySQL start:\xampp\mysql_start.batNur MySQL stop:\xampp\mysql_stop.batMercury Mailserver start:\xampp\mercury_start.batMercury Mailserver stop:\xampp\mercury_stop.batFileZilla Server
