NOT IN USE ANYMORE
Currently it is written completely to the path C:/xampp (in case of pasting it to another place, which I don't recommend, you need to overwrite the paths that contain it C:/xampp or C:\xampp, it's a bit of a skip, but it's directly from the xampp developers, so I would keep the structure to avoid crashes because of that).
The projects folder is called C:/www.
The mysql name and password is: name 'root', password 'root'
The new xampp contains php version 7.1 7.4 8.1.
For all of them, I merged together their vhosts (for 7.1 and 7.4 was the same apache, but as there must be a different apache for 8.1, so was the vhost, which I modified so that it does not have to be).
there is a folder with the program for the complete switch php version (you need to install apache as a service, i.e. run xampp-control.exe as administrator and then click on the red cross on the left to install the service -> it is possible that you need to set the xampp folder with the rights for the user, and then click through and set the rights everywhere in apache, best to do it personally).
Versions 7.1 and 7.4 contain complete preparation for xdebug (just set up phpstorm and download the extension in chrome and xdebug will run).
This includes most of the projects we have worked on so far.
It should fix the bugs that were there before.
Process
- Download xampp_full.rar from drive
- Download some xampp from their official website (preferably version 8.1) link here
- Install the official xampp via their installer into the same folder where the xampp_full will go (in our case it will be the path C:/xampp -> but be careful not to create the path C:/xampp/xampp)
- Most probably the control panel of the xampp will be opened (if not, find and open it, in the folder it will be something like xampp-control.exe) where you need to start apache (sometimes this will install other things when you first start it)
- Go to the place where the xampp folder is located (in our case C:/) and rename the xampp to xampp-gen (you may need to restart to rename it, but sometimes you can do it just by closing everything that is xampp)
- Extract the xampp_full.rar to C:/ or move it there so that the path we need is created, in our case C:/xampp (the xampp must contain the xampp files, there must be no other nesting. It must not be: C:/xampp/xampp)
- Go inside to find xampp-control.exe (it may be called a bit differently, but it's easy to find) open it and try to run apache normally
- And voilà I hope it works
- If it doesn't work, we have a problem 😂
