xampp controle panel not showing stop button for Apache and MySQL - apache

I have installed xampp server in D: directory, when I click on xampp icon its working and starting Apache and MySQL with auto start, But its not showing stop button when I want to stop that running process.
And when i try to start it as administrator

I think your xampp version is too old,
would you try install a latest version to see whether support or not:

XAMPP Can't Start Apache After Upgrading to PHP7.1.17 "Attempting to start Apache service..."

I have XAMPP installed on Windows 7 virtual machine. My old PHP version was 7.0.9 with Apache 2.4
I needed to upgrade the PHP version to 7.1.x and I set out reading about how to best to this. In end, I settled with the simple plan:
Stop Apache service
Downloaded new PHP version from official php website. For PHP 7 the 7.1.17 version was listed. I downloaded the thread safe version, as my Apache has thread safety enabled.
I extracted the contents of the downloaded archive to a folder.
I copied and replaced all files in the appropriate folders from C:/Server/php with the new php version files from the extracted archive.
I attempted to start Apache from the XAMPP control panel and the server will not start.
The message "Attempting to start Apache service..." just hangs and nothing happens.
The last entry in the error.log file in C:\Server\apache\logs shows the event when the server was stopped and that's it.
When I check the php version from CLI with the command php -v, the console returns installed php version 7.1.17
I tried different suggestions I read from similar questions, like changing ServerName localhost:80 to ServerName localhost:8080 and copying php7apache2.dll to apache/bin ( as suggested here: Upgrading PHP in XAMPP for Windows? ), alas the issue is not fixed and Apache does not start.
Of course, I also restarted the virtual machine, all the same.
At this point, I'm dumbfounded. Don't know what to do.
I need to get Apache running with php 7.1, as it is required by Magento 2.2.4. I do not want to reinstall XAMPP, as this will be a lenghty process with a lot of risk for more things to go wrong.
Any help is much appreciated!
Alright, so after checking Windows Logs > Application in Event Viewer I saw the error ".. the Apache service named is not a valid win32 application". I downloaded the x86 version of PHP from official website PHP for Windows
Then copied and replaced files as described above, and Apache started successfully.
To see if your Apache version is x64 or x86 open command prompt and cd to your Apache bin directory, in my case C:/Server/apache/bin , then run:
file httpd

after XAMPP install on Mac Sierra - it works, but there is no XAMPP folder. Where is everything?

I have installed XAMPP. It works. I'm trying to figure out the following:
1/ it appears there are now TWO apache servers on my mac. XAMPP just installed an additional server. One is already installed on the default Sierra OS. Is that correct?
2/ I can't find where XAMPP is reading files (document root). in the newly created directory: XAMPP.APP, the file structure is not as indicated in the FAQ's. For example, there is no xamppfiles or logs directory in the XAMPP.app directory.
Many thanks in advance
I installed XAMPP-VM (VM - as in virtual machine). Therefore, in the XAMPP application, I needed to click on "Volumes" and select "Mount" . I can then see this mounted volume in the MAC finder under "Shared". From there, I can get to all the necessary files including "lampp/htdocs".
I haven't encountered a web server on the default installation of macOS.
Run XAMPP in the applications folder and then click on the 'Open Terminal' button. At the prompt, type cd /opt/lampp and this is the document root.

So what solution to install xamp on my windows 7? Thanks in advance.
Extra : I don't install skype on my windows
Try checking on your 32 system file located on the windows file (C) if you have msvcr100.dll
If it is missing go to a dll.com site and download it and insert it on your system 32 file.
Another dll that might be missing is the API-MS-WIN-CRT-RUNTIME-L1-1-0.DLL
This video explain how to fix this if this is due to a crash like in your print.

Wish you the best of luck.

Xammp functions are restricted due to UAC win10. How to fix it?

I'm trying to install xampp (xampp-win32-7.0.0-0-VC14-installer) but I get this warning message saying that "Because an activated UAC on your system, some functions of XAMPP are possibly restricted..."
Here is xamp warning message screenshot:
Although I have already disabled UAC settings and gave permission to C drive and its subfolders, I still get this message.
Here is my UAC settings's screenshot:
If anyone could help me to fix this problem, I would appriciate.
Thank you!
Moving the slider down doesn't completely disable UAC since Windows 8. This is changed compared to Windows 7, because the new Store apps require an active UAC. With UAC off, they no longer run.
Do what is suggested and install xampp to C:\xampp and not into program files.
In order to disable UAC and install XAMPP, go to Registry Editor and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Right click EnableLUA and modify the Value data to 0.
Then restart your computer and you're ready to install XAMPP
