In XAMPP, the Apache web server and MySQL database can be set to start automatically when you launch the XAMPP Control Panel.
Here's how you can configure this:
1. Open XAMPP Control Panel: Launch the XAMPP Control Panel. You can usually find it in the XAMPP installation directory. On Windows, it's often located at `C:\xampp\xampp-control.exe`.
2. Configure Apache and MySQL to Start Automatically: - In the XAMPP Control Panel, you'll see checkboxes next to Apache and MySQL. - Check the boxes next to "Apache" and "MySQL" to mark them for automatic startup.
3. Save Changes: Once you've checked these boxes, click on the "Save" or "Save and Close" button in the XAMPP Control Panel. This action saves your settings for automatic startup.
4. Restart XAMPP Control Panel: Close the XAMPP Control Panel and then reopen it to ensure that your changes take effect.
5. Test Automatic Startup: - Close all instances of Apache and MySQL if they are running. - Launch the XAMPP Control Panel again. - Check if Apache and MySQL start automatically without you having to manually start them. By following these steps, you can configure XAMPP to automatically start Apache and MySQL services whenever you open the XAMPP Control Panel.
