I followed the steps to install XAMPP 1.7.7 on Windows 7 Home (64-bit)
I downloaded the ZIP file instead of the EXE file and saved it in the Downloads folder.
Using WinRAR, I extracted all the contents from it.
After extracting the ZIP file, I moved the newly created folder "xampp" from "Downloads" to "C: \"
Then I turned off User Account Control (UAC).
Then go to "C: \ xampp" and create a desktop shortcut.
Open the shortcut for the new XAMPP Control Desktop and βGet startedβ with those for MySQL, Apache and Tomcat. For MySQL, Apache, I see a green "Running" indicator. However, there is NOTHING for Tomcat. The log shows that Tomcat started working on port 8080, but actually it is not, and I do not see the green "Running" indicator.
When I open a web browser and type http: // localhost , I see the XAMPP splash screen. But, if I try with http: // localhost: 8080 , it shows "cannot connect." If I go to Tomcat Status, I see:
XAMPP Status This page offers you one page to view all the information about what works and what works and what doesn't work.
MySQL database ACTIVATED PHP ACTIVATED HTTPS (SSL) ACTIVATED Common Gateway Interface (CGI) ACTIVATED Server Side Includes (SSI) ACTIVATED SMTP Service DEACTIVATED FTP Service DEACTIVATED Tomcat Service DEACTIVATED
Why is Tomcat DEACTIVATED? I tried installing XAMPP 1.7.7 with a .EXE file, and the same thing happens. How can i fix this?
