You should also change ->Tomcat to match the version.Change ->Tomcat to match the version you are using.Į.g., tomcat9.exe (just the major version number).You need to configure it so it will search for the new version %XAMPP_DIR% omcat (the folder you deleted).īy default, XAMPP will point towards the Tomcat version it was bundled Extract the contents of apache-tomcat- to.

Navigate to your XAMPP base directory (I'll call it %XAMPP_DIR%).EDIT: Just learned about Blender, so no need for 3DS Max or Windows. Unless you need to run 3DS Max, but thats not a web developer thing. My suggestion for any web developer would be to install Linux and wean off Windows. Therefore in the case of Windows, perhaps you can set it up in a similar fashion? Install them separately and configure it as a server? But then again that might be quite a pain outside a Unix system hence easy to just use XAMPP with Windows. If you were to start it manually you would run the respective command to do so. So you don't need to open up a program and click start to get things running. Usually everything is set up to run automatically when you boot up. So you install whatever you need, and in the case of XAMP (uniX, Apache, Mysql, Php), you install apache, then mysql and php. Both always work fine.Īs for replacing XAMPP: On a Linux machine, we don't install a single program like XAMP or MAMP that runs everything, you just set your local machine up to run a web server (locally). If an app I was using required a newer version of mySQL than available in the Linux repo's, then I would download and install it manually from Oracle, but between the two I can not tell. Usually, I run mariaDB installed with apt-get, as John said its the standard with linux based environments (which accounts for most web servers in the world I believe).
