I am using XAMPP, version 3.2.1. I just installed it on Windows 8. Every time I need to go to the XAMPP Control Panel to start services (MySQL, Apache,...); in Windows 7 it started automatically when Windows came up.
Is there a way I can make it auto-start in Windows 8 too?
1. Resolve Apache Port Conflicts. If Apache cannot start, you won't be able to access your XAMPP dashboard or any sites you have installed on the platform. A port conflict may be the underlying problem.
XAMPP is now installed below the /opt/lampp directory. To start XAMPP simply call this command: /opt/lampp/lampp start Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.5.
Go to the Config button (upper right) and select the Autostart for Apache:
To start XAMPP at startup in Windows, paste a shortcut of the XAMPP control panel in this folder:
C:\Users\ USERNAME \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp
Start the control panel using "Run as administrator". Then you can install Apache and MySQL as a service:
