People finding this question might be interested in how do i connect to this localhost from another computer on the same network?. Go to the c:/xampp/mysql directory and copy the data folder and keep it somewhere else (probably in another drive) as a backup. Xampp is running on port 8081 as 80 is.
I've just downloaded and installed xampp 5.6.11 and started all the tools from the control panel. In windows 7 it started If xampp fails for some reason instead of starting the xampp consol try the start xampp as this.
I've seen that one of it's new features is that it has a welcome/dashboard page. Every time i need to go to the xampp control panel to start services (mysql, apache,.); I would like to know how you upgrade php in xampp for windows? Very important to stop and start xampp server after each change you make in xampp.
Including images, stylesheets and javascript files. I am sure this question is being asked many times but i am not encounter with a problem. Go to your original data folder. This worked for me, quit the xampp cut all files in c:\xampp\mysql\backup paste and replace files into.
Make sure you backup the mentioned folders before taking any action! I am using xampp, version 3.2.1. I am using xampp where i configure zend framework. It is also where the front controllers live.
I just installed it on windows 8.
