I am facing a problem with my Xampp control panel. Once I try to launch it, it pops out an error message saying:
"Error:Cannot create file "C:\xampp\xampp-control.ini". Access denied.
The version I installed is xampp-win32-5.6.23. When I try to start the apache module, below is the log respnse:
7:53:14 PM [Apache] Attempting to start Apache app...
7:53:15 PM [Apache] Status change detected: running

So open your XAMPP folder and find a file named xampp-control.exe. right-click on this file and Select Properties a tab will open like and select Compatibility and check “Run this program as an administrator” and click on the Ok button. So, we solve XAMPP server error xampp-control.
Shutting Down XAMPP You can shut down XAMPP from the main control panel by clicking Stop next to each of the services that are running, then click Quit.
If the XAMPP icon is in your system tray, you can click it to open the Control Panel. If you don't have the icon in your system tray, you can open the Control Panel by choosing Start All Programs Apache Friends XAMPP XAMPP Control Panel.
My problem was solved by just running the app as an administrator.
Right click the xampp control panel> run as administrator.
