XAMPP Apache + MariaDB + PHP + Perl (X -any OS)

• After successful installation execute xampp-control.exe in XAMPP folder

By default your port is listing with 80.If you want you can change it to your desired port number in httpd.conf file.(If port 80 is already using with other app then you have to change it).

For example you changed port number 80 to 8090 then you can run as 'localhost:8090' or '127.0.0.1:8090'
