1. Go to XAMPP - Browse Files at SourceForge.net and click "XAMPP Windows". Click the "1.6.5" (or a new one) link to expand the appropriate version, and choose to download xampp-win32-1.6.5-installer.exe (if there is a new version, download it!).
2. Run the installer. If you want, you can choose to install the Apache and MySQL servers as services, which will make them start automatically every time you start Windows. If you don't choose this option, you will need to use the XAMPP Control Panel application to start the servers individually each time you need them. This may be desirable if you don't intend to use your servers that often.
3. Upon completion of installation, the XAMPP Control Panel will open (if not, click Start ? All Programs ? Apache Friends ? XAMPP ? XAMPP Control Panel). This tool lets you start and stop the various servers installed as part of XAMPP.
4. Start Apache and MySQL by clicking on the "Start" buttons next to each item. If prompted by Windows Firewall, click the button labelled "Unblock".
5. Go to http://localhost/. If you are directed to a page with the XAMPP logo, your installation was successful. Congratulations!
You can add or change the files in C:\xampp\htdocs to change what you see at http://localhost/ on any local web browser. If u want, for example, to use MuWeb 0.8, then 1st delete all files in htdocs folder and paste the new ones!
Here are the locations of some configuration and log files you may want to view or change:
