2. Execute the installer executable. Leave the default options for the first few setup screens.We recommend
that you install XAMPP in the root folder of your drive, such as C:\xampp. When asked, choose to install
Apache and MySQL as services, as shown in Figure 3-1. Then click Install.

3. Next, you??™ll be asked to confirm the installation of each of these as services. You don??™t need to install the
FileZilla FTP server, because we??™re not using it in this book, but do install Apache and MySQL as services.

?– Note You can??™t have more than one web server working on port 80 (the default port used for HTTP communication).
If you already have a web server on your machine, such as IIS, you should make it use another
port, uninstall it, or deactivate it. Otherwise, Apache won??™t work. To make Apache work on another port, you
should edit C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf and locate lines containing Listen 80 and ServerName
localhost:80, and replace the value 80 with the port number of your choice (8080 is a typical choice for
a second web server).
4. In the end, confirm the execution of the XAMPP Control Panel, which can be used for administering the
installed services. Figure 3-2 shows the XAMPP Control Panel.
