Question

I\'m getting the following errors when I launch XAMPP.

12:35:23  [main]    Initializing Control Panel
12:35:23  [main]    Windows Version:   64-bit
12:35:23          


        

Answer 1

Set XAMPP controlpanel to run under Administrator priviledges.

In Win 7 1. First make sure XAMPP control panel is not running 2. SHIFT+right click on XAMPP Control Panel 3. Click on properties 4. In properties select tab 'Compatibility' 5. On bottom of the tab under 'Privilege level' check the box "Run this program as an administrator" 6. Click OK

this worked for me
