New XAMPP Launch Control
Monday, July 02, 2007
A new launch control for XAMPP and XAMPPlite is available for testing Here This control is part of the DeskTopXampp project and is being developed by the ZedFiles Project in collaboration with Nat32 and Apache Friends. It will be released as Open Source once testing is completed.
The primary feature is the support of 'alternative porting' of both Apache and MySQL to avoid conflicts with existing sessions and to allow 'concurrent sessions' for testing or multiple configurations. These are important issues for the PortableApps community.
The DeskTopXampp project will not roll out until later this summer but I thought that making this app available for testing now was timely.

After pulling out what remaining few hairs I have (had) left, I discovered that XAMPP/phpMyAdmin will NOT function correctly if ZoneAlarm is active on the computer. I'm no programmer, but I believe the problem is with the ZA interaction with phpMyAdmin.
In any event, now that I have rebuilt my house of cards, before I try this application I would like to ask:
Has it been tested on a machine that has ZoneAlarm Security Suite installed and active?
My problem was I could not make ANY changes to databases through phpMyAdmin ver 5.
DTX has been tested with ZA Pro and there has not been any apparent problems. Because it is configured with 'alternative ports' it is always tested first with a 'normal' XAMPP configured session running at the same time.
There is a specific permission that phpMyAdmin needs from ZA in either circumstance...this is in addition to the Apache and MySQL ones...
