It is also where the front controllers live. Go to the c:/xampp/mysql directory and copy the data folder and keep it somewhere else (probably in another drive) as a backup. I am sure this question is being asked many times but i am not encounter with a problem.
Very important to stop and start xampp server after each change you make in xampp. 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?
Xampp is running on port 8081 as 80 is being occupied by. Go to your original data folder (c:/xampp/mysql) and sort the files by 'type.' select the files that have the type info file and delete them (screenshot below). I've seen that one of it's new features is that it has a welcome/dashboard page. Copy these quickly and paste into note.txt.
The web directory is the home of all of your application's public and static files. In windows 7 it started I just installed it on windows 8. Go to xampp control panel.
This worked for me, quit the xampp cut all files in c:\xampp\mysql\backup paste and replace files into c:\xampp\mysql\data run the xampp as administrator Including images, stylesheets and javascript files. I am using xampp where i configure zend framework. I tried to download the latest php version from the main php site but when i check (phpinfo) i still get that the previous version is.
I am using xampp, version 3.2.1. I've just downloaded and installed xampp 5.6.11 and started all the tools from the control panel. Make sure you backup the mentioned folders before taking any action!
