How to Solve XAMPP control panel showing " Access Denied " upon closing?
Recently I downloaded XAMPP for running my PHP files. While closing the control panel each time, I was getting a dialog box with access denied message written on it. I had to close it forcefully. It gets on your nerves, believe me.
Here, have a look at the error message.
Thus to solve it -
Step-1: Go to the XAMPP folder in C drive (or whichever drive you installed it).
Step-2: Search for " xampp-control.ini " in that folder.
Step-3: Right click on it and go to it's properties.
Step-4: In properties --> Security --> Edit
Step-5: Allow " Full Control " for Everyone and save the settings.
OR
You can Go to -
XAMPP control panel--> right click and select Properties --> Advanced --> Select Run as Administrator and save the settings.
Now No more dialog box. ( Personally, I prefer the first one. )
Reason for this error message : It has been set to read-only mode for some reason. When you give access to full control, it works smoothly.
