Can't quit XAMPP normally

Question

I use the win10 system. My xampp panel is v3.2.4. The xampp can run mysql and apache normally. But when I want to quit, the program will report an error, then no response. Need help, please. How can I fix this?

Add：enter image description here, the Chinese words in this picture means access denied.

enter image description here When I click quit bottom in xampp, it will show me these two hints.

This is my xampp-control.ini enter image description here

Sounds like you need to talk to the people who distribute that software, though they're going to need to walk you through how to get some detailed technical information about the problem. One thing's for sure -- this is not a question about programming. – Herdic

Answer 1

Are you running the program as an administrator?

Make sure you have installed XAMPP outside of the Program Files folder, the default should warn you about that and suggest installing in C:\xampp anyway.

You may also need to go to the C:\xampp directory and change the settings for xampp-control.exe too. Right click on it, go to Properties > Compatibility and then check the "Run this program as an administrator".

Answer 2

Find file xampp-control.ini into folder XAMPP, changes permisssion for everyone with FULL CONTROL

This is the one and only solution that worked for me. This should be marked as the answer. However, I am unaware of the adverse effects of changing the default permissions. – Indicative

Answer 3

• Find file xampp-control.ini into folder XAMPP
• Delete it
• Start xampp control panel

This will create a new xampp-control.ini with the correct rights.

Answer 6

The developers removed the write permissions for xampp-control.ini for non-administrative users due to the security vulnerability CVE-2020-11107.

"An attacker could modify the 'xampp-contol.ini' to set a value to a malicious .exe or .bat file that gets executed after another user tries to open it via the control panel."

Modifying the permissions of the file as suggested by xrockstar will work, but leave you unprotected from this vulnerability.
