Quick Installation

[Step 1: Unpack the package to your usb stick or a partition of your choice. There it must be on the highest level like E:\ or W:\. It will build E:\xampp or W:\xampp or something like this. Please do not use the "setup_xampp.bat" for an USB stick installation!]

Step 1: Unpack the package into a directory of your choice. Please start the "setup_xampp.bat" and beginning the installation. Note: xampp makes no entries in the windows registry and no settings for the system variables.

Step 2: If installation ends successfully, start the Apache 2 with "apache_start".bat", MySQL with "mysql_start".bat". Stop the MySQL Server with "mysql_stop.bat". For shutdown the Apache HTTPD, only close the Apache Command (CMD).

Step 3: Start your browser and type http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost in the location bar. You should see our pre-made start page with certain examples and test screens.

Step 4: PHP (with mod_php, as *.php, *.php4, *.php3, *.phtml), Perl by default with *.cgi, SSI with *.shtml are all located in

=> \...\xampp\htdocs\.

Beispiele (Examples):

=> \...\xampp\htdocs\test.php => http://localhost/test.php

=> \...\xampp\myhome\test.php => http://localhost/myhome/test.php

Step 5: XAMPP UNINSTALL? Simply remove the "xampp" Directory. But before please shutdown the apache and mysql.

Apache Notes

1. In contrast of apache 1.x, you can not stop the apache2 with the command "apache -k shutdown". These functions only for an installations as service by NT systems. So, simply close the Apache START command for shutdown.
2. To use the experimental version of mod_auth_mysql remove the # in the httpd.conf. Detailed information about this topic can be found on the left menu of xampp, once you started it.
3. To use Mod_Dav load the Modules mod_dav.so + mod_dav_fs.so in the httpd.conf by removing the # on the beginning of their lines. Then try http://127.0.0.1:81 (not for Frontpage, but for Dreamweaver)

MySQL Notes

1. The MySQL server can be started by double-clicking (executing) mysql_start.bat. This file can be found in the same folder you installed xampp in, most likely this will be C:\xampp\. The exact path to this file is X:\xampp\mysql_start.bat, where "X" indicates the letter of the drive you unpacked xampp into. This batch file starts the MySQL server in console mode. The first intialization might take a few minutes.
    

   Do not close the DOS window or you'll crash the server! To stop the server, please use mysql_shutdown.bat, which is located in the same directory.

2. To use the MySQL Daemon with "innodb" for better performance, please edit the "my" (or "my.cnf") file in the /xampp/mysql/bin directory or for services the c:\my.cnf for windows NT/2000. In there, activate the "innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:30M" statement. Attention, "innodb" is not recommended for 95/98/ME/XP Home.

   To use MySQL as Service for NT/2000/XP Professional, simply copy the "my" / "my.cnf" file to C:\my, or C:\my.cnf. Please note that this file has to be placed in C:\ (root), other locations are not permitted. Then execute the "mysql_installservice.bat" in the mysql folder.
    

3. MySQL starts with standard values for the user id and the password. The preset user id is "root", the password is "" (= no password). To access MySQL via PHP with the preset values, you'll have to use the following syntax: mysql_connect("localhost","root",""); If you want to set a password for MySQL access, please use of mysqladmin. To set the passwort "secret" for the user "root", type the following:

     C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root password secret

After changing the password you'll have to reconfigure PHPMyAdmin to use the new password, otherwise it won't be able to access the databases. To do that, open the file config.inc.php in \xampp\phpmyadmin\ and edit the following lines:

     $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']            = 'root';   // MySQL user
     $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']       = 'http';   // HTTP authentificate

So first the 'root' password is queried by the MySQL server, before PHPMyAdmin may access.

Have a lot of fun! Viel Spaß! Bonne Chance!
