Short backstory: Recently I've installed MAMP as I want to start learning PHP. I got version 4.1.1 from the MAMP homepage, Apache didn't start. This seems to be a common bug for that version, I found a solution in downloading version 4.1.0. Both servers started but the Open WebStart Page didn't work.
My Problem: I wanted to try reinstalling it, I deleted the MAMP folder, as I thought that would be sufficient, instead of deleting it in the system settings. Now when I download it again and start the installer it says
MAMP setup has detected existing MAMP installation. You need to remove existing installation before proceeding. Do you want to uninstall it now?
Clicking either yes or no gives me
MAMP setup will now exit and the existing MAMP installation will not be removed.
In the system settings I find
MAMP & MAMP PRO 4.1.0 version 4.1.0 (1.47 GB)
When trying to uninstall it it gives me this error
Windows cannot find 'C:\MAMP\unins000.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.
Is there any way, other than reinstalling my whole OS, to solve this problem or do I have to turn to a different web server app?
I just encountered this problem and I hope my solution works for you as well:
Just download the .exe file into another device and install the MAMP.
After a successful installation, just copy the folder to your original device that has the problem.
And then you should find a file with a name starting with "uni" meaning it is for uninstallation. Just run that file and then everything should be fine!
I had the same problem (on OS is windows 10).
I browse the web and found a way:
You can download the ccleaner and use it, it can delete the MAMP.

I have a xampp server in a laptop with an application running as development environment, and I need to move all the server to a new computer.
Will it work if I copy/paste the complete xampp folder from one to another, or is it needed to "install" xampp from the installation package in the new computer?
I need it to be the exact version because productive environment does not support a newer version of PHP (actual version is 5.5.11).
I already tried downgrading a xampp installation but it seems that I need to install also the xampp version that supports the PHP version.
I did not succeed on finding that specific version of PHP on surceforce.
Any clues would be appreciated.
I think you should consider to use VirtualBox or/and Docker for future :)
So I've figured out it can be done. I installed the newest version then copied all config folders from my actual version along with all my files.
I'm currently using PHP 5.3.29 for my application and I can't currently upgrade it. I'm working on getting access to phpMyAdmin. I'm running MAMP PRO 4.2.1 which has phpMyAdmin version 4.7.3 which only allows PHP versions 5.5+ to access. I was thinking similar logic to http://blog-en.mamp.info/2013/08/how-to-upgrade-phpmyadmin-in-mamp-mamp.html would apply for how to downgrade the version. I downloaded phpMyAdmin 4.0.10.20 and added the current config.inc.php file to the new phpMyAdmin folder I just downloaded. I then replaced the file in Applications/MAMP/bin as well as /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/. When I tried running localhost/phpmyadmin I wasn't able to connect. When I went to localhost/mamp I noticed under tools it still said I needed PHP 5.5+ to access phpMyAdmin. I then switched to CGI mode in MAMP Pro and changed localhost to 5.5.38 and when I went to localhost/phpmyadmin it was now working, but it still said I was using phpMyAdmin v4.7.3. So my question is how do I actually change the phpMyAdmin version used with MAMP Pro? I was under the impression that downloading old version and replacing in those two places mentioned should have taken care of it. I also made sure to restart server anytime I made a change to MAMP files so that's not the problem
I was doing everything necessary according to MAMP support in terms of changes, but they believe there was something in the code preventing me from viewing phpMyAdmin in a lower version. I ended up just using Sequel Pro to do what I needed and that was quite simple.
I installed xampp 7.1.2 in my windows 7 computer and after installing it when i try to run apache i get following error -
the program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is
missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this
problem.
I reinstalled but no progress.
I posted a topic for this problem in apachefriends.com forum and they said me to have "MS visual c++ 2015(x86) 14.0.24.." installed, which i already had installed. I uninstalled existing this software in my computer and reinstalled this mentioned software but still i can't run apache in xampp control panel, i am getting same error as i wrote above!!.
I searched through web about this problem but did not find similar one. so how should i proceed??
Try following this answer here on SO.
After installing, search for that dll to verify that it exist somewhere.
If not, it's worth trying this:
Check with procmon where xampp is looking for that dll, and then download the dll and put it in the place it's looking for.
I have an application where i need to connect my web (PHP based) application with desktop application database so that both desktop and web can communicate with each other.
On ubuntu OS connectivity is working fine but when i comes to windows 7 codeigniter sql server connectivity is not working.
i tried visual c++ redistributional packages as well as other instructions provided on many platforms but fails.
i also added extensions in php\ext and dll files as well as include that extensions like sql_serv55_nts like that but nothing is working.
last error that i am receiving is
application not be run as php5.dll is missing .
can some one help to figure this out as soon as possible and can send me proper tested procedure for this.
As you say you have installed the sql_serv55_nts version of the SQLServer libraries, this is your problem.
Instead install the TS (Thread Safe) version of the SQLServer libraries. XAMPP on windows runs Thread Safe.
The php5.dll is the Non Thread Safe version of php5ts.dll which is supplied with the XAMPP install of PHP.
Once you install the TS version of SQLServer libraries delete the php5.dll it is not required, also you got it from a source that you cannot be sure is safe. A simple rule of thumb If it was required it would have come with the XAMPP install.
NOTE: You should never need to copy anything related to Apache/PHP/MYSQL into the Windows system folders. If you do, when you come to install another version of XAMPP it will still be there and will cause you hours of debugging to find out why you are having odd issues.
ALSO: It is also dangerous adding anything XAMPP or WAMPServer related to the Windows PATH as this will also cause you issues when you come to update XAMPP/WAMPServer as you are bound to forget that this was done.
Try adding your php directory and your php extensions directory to your PATH environment variables.
I resolved issue in following way.
Install xampp with php 5.5
install microsoft re distributional package
download php5.ddl file from php5.dll
if window is 32 bit than just copy downloaded php5.dll into windows/system32
if you have 64bit window than you need to copy it into windows/SysWOW64 too.
best is to restart your PC
All done......
I tried to install xampp (I downloaded xampp-win32-upgrade-1.7.2-1.7.3). After I finish extracting it gives fatal error :
failed opening required : G:\xampp\install\xampp_xampp_php'
in G:\xampp\setup_xampp.bat on line 33
Did I download wrong archive. I'm installing on windows 7 64 bit.I don't have any preinstalled xampp.
Uhm just out of curiosity, if you don't have xampp installed, why did you get the upgrade version instead of the final one? Get the basic package instead
It's because you downloaded the 32 bit version, hence the 'win32' in the name.
You can also try a new WAMP Stack called AMPPS by Softaculous.
http://www.ampps.com/download
You can download xampp from Apache-friends. In there select your operating system such as windows / Linux etc.. Then in the download section click on xampp. Then you will see the link called "installer" click on it. and your download will start and it.
Download and install the software to your computer. If the application control start automatically it is fine. If not you can go to the folder where the xampp is downloaded and then check for xampp control click on it and open it.
Then what you have to do is starting Apache to access to our localhost. So you click on the start button right in front of Apache. And that you will see it starts running.
It is there described properly. How to install xampp. check it.
I installed it on Windows 10 and it installs quite easily as long as you have the correct version. I only chose Apache and MariaDB during installation. As I am using an earlier version of MySQL and using IIS, I will have to modify the MySQL and Apache to work on my computer. Although the installation web site says MariaDB, I still see MySQL. Perhaps I need to upgrade to MariaDB.
Here you can find more details with some screen shots:

You just have to go to Xampp site and download new related version. it is easy to install
uninstall your xampp, and craete backup your file , install 64 bit version
This error comes when the Downloaded archive is damaged.
Please follow some steps it may help you:
