Xampp Control Panel is a free and open-source control panel that allows you to easily manage your Xampp installation. Xampp is a popular web development stack that includes Apache, MySQL, PHP, and Perl. The control panel provides a user-friendly interface to start, stop, and configure these services.

It looked familiar. The interface was clean—the orange and grey grid she was used to.

| Problem | Solution | |---------|----------| | | Run as Administrator (right-click → Run as Administrator) | | Apache fails to start | Click “Netstat” – check if another program uses Port 80 (e.g., Skype) | | MySQL shutdown unexpectedly | Open my.ini and change port=3306 if conflicted | | 64-bit error on 32-bit PC | You cannot install this version – use the 32-bit XAMPP instead |

In the control panel top bar, click the About icon (question mark). It should display: XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.4 .
