Old xampp folder can't be deleted, xampp no working

Question

I uninstalled xampp and installed a newer version with the latest 5.4 php on Windows. When i tried to install the new version of php, the old folder in C://xampp would delete. I deleted everything from that folder except memcached which I can't delete beacuse someone else is using it. So i installed the new xampp version in xampp54 folder.

When i installed the new xampp version, i get this errors for mysql

Expected Path: "c:\xampp54\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice
MySQL Service detected with wrong path
Change XAMPP MySQL and Control Panel settings or
Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
Found Path: C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=c:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini     mysql
Expected Path: c:\xampp54\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=c:\xampp54\mysql\bin\my.ini mysql

When i try starting apache, i doesn't do anything. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Answer 1

Go to Task Manager Processes tab

• search MySql and click
• then click End task

After that, you can delete Xampp folder.
