How to Configure XAMPP in Windows 10?

After the successful installation, you are ready to configure XAMPP for your first use. To begin with, the XAMPP control panels include three main options. In the modules, you will find the web services, from where you can select start and begin your work.

Configuration

When you start one of the services, you will be able to see the process ID in the right panel. In simple terms, you will be able to see the Process ID and the Transmission Control Protocol ID. And some other numbers that your site is using. You can also check the Admin tab where you will get access to the dashboard and each service that is working in the correct order.

On the right panel, you will notice there are a lot of buttons that will let you configure the various modules to start up whenever you turn on XAMPP. Clicking the Netstart button will give you access to the list of current processes that are currently accessing the network and TCP, and also PID.

In addition to the control panel buttons, there are also quick access buttons that will let you open shell command prompt directly, services, and other components that you don’t need in the beginning. Finally, you get a log section, which is like history, and it will show you what you have done previously. Even if you change a setting, it will list it there. You can use this section as a troubleshooter when you experience something that is not right.

So, these were all the configuration settings that a first-time user might need. More than this will not be required to create a testing environment. However, sometime you may need to change the Apace Server, the uploading size and the Transmission Control Protocol, and also the Internet protocol. But you need to do this only when necessary. Further, you can also use the config button to change instantaneous settings.
