0 Here are some practical tips for getting XAMPP running on your Windows 7 machine. I use this for getting my Hudson / Maven / Sonar demonstation environment.
There are two issues that can save you a lot of time when you know how to solve them.
My configuration:
- Windows 7, 64 bit.
- Xampp 1.7.4 with Tomcat 7 included. (install via windows installer, nexted through install menu, no special things)
After running the installer there are two issues:
- Apache does not start
- Tomcat will only run command line and not as a Windows service.
1. Apache does not start.
The XAMPP control panel does nog give any feedback and command line : apache_start.cmd gives the following error:
Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden Bitte erst bei einem gewollten Shutdown schliessen Please close this command only for Shutdown Apache 2 is starting ... (OS 10048)Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs Apache konnte nicht gestartet werden Apache could not be started
It seems there is already a process running on port 80. This is the World wide web publishing servicer
Solution : Stop and disable this service and start apache. Voila.
2. Tomcat will only run command line.
After this step I discovered Tomcat has no option on the Xampp control panel. You can start tomcat by gaining to [xampp-home]\tomcat\ and run catalina_start.bat.
Problem is that you will have to have the command window always open and you cannot run this on your server.
In the \tomcat\bin folder you will find “service.bat. Via the command service install you can install tomcat as a service. This command gives the following error.
C:\xampp\tomcat\bin>service install Installing the service ˜Tomcat7™ ... Using CATALINA_HOME: C:\xampp\tomcat Using CATALINA_BASE: C:\xampp\tomcat Using JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21 Using JRE_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\jre Using JVM: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll Failed installing ˜Tomcat7™ service
You can fix this by altering the properties of tomcat7.exe and tomcat7w.exe. Change the compatibility to run as administrator and the service will install. Again, voila.
Hope you find these tips helpful. Good luck.

do the magic!!!
No, not in this version. Perhaps in the next version. You have to start tomcat manually.
Thanks, the Tomcat hint works well for me.
However, the xampp console does not indicate that Tomcat is running – is there a way to start/stop Tomcat once it is installed as a service?
