Greetings. I would like to install WordPress on an external USB drive connected to my local Windows 11 workstation so I can design and try out new websites without immediately posting to an online and public hosting service. To that end, I installed XAMPP on the above-mentioned hard drive and need to be able to use Apache through the XAMPP control panel. However, Apache will not start. Every time I try to start Apache the log in the bottom portion of the XAMPP control panel has a line that states "Attempting to start Apache service..." and nothing more. And I can't connect to my localhost using any of my browsers. I tried to change, via the Config button, the port associated with Apache but that didn't work. Also, I noticed that, when I open the XAMPP Control Panel (always in Administrator Mode), the log section in the control panel window includes, in red,... --------------- 2:49:58 AM [Apache] Apache Service detected with wrong path 2:49:58 AM [Apache] Change XAMPP Apache and Control Panel settings or 2:49:58 AM [Apache] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first 2:49:58 AM [Apache] Found Path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Promise\Pegasus Utility\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice 2:49:58 AM [Apache] Expected Path: "i:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice --------------- So, Apache was already installed earlier on the startup (C:) drive of my computer. But, I'm trying to have Apache, MySQL and the rest of the XAMPP apps reside on my separate (I:) drive, because I want to use that I: drive to build my new websites offline with WordPress. I suppose I could uninstall/remove the copy of Apache that's on the C: drive. However, given its location in the Promise and Promise Utility folders, I think my Promise Pegasus RAID drive relies on it. I need my RAID to be available at all times. Therefore, I don't really want to tamper with any files related to it, including the copy of Apache on that C: drive. So, could you please provide suggestions on how can I have a copy of Apache work via the XAMPP Control Panel on my external drive? Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
