Php Problem Overview


I am facing a problem with my Xampp control panel. Once I try to launch it, it pops out an error message saying:

> "Error:Cannot create file "C:\xampp\xampp-control.ini". Access denied.

The version I installed is xampp-win32-5.6.23. When I try to start the apache module, below is the log respnse:
