Reliable 'testing' server fails to open XAMPP - server

I have had a testing server on my computer for a couple of years. I have been trying to open it today and nothing happens.
I have tried to open my antivirus and added xampp to my allowed applications.
I have XAMPP attached to my toolbar and when I click it to open there is an underline like on the other open programs but I'm not getting the normal screen.
Any help?
Thanks, Bill

Hello I didn't get any answers but I figured it out on my own and wanted to share the results.
I ended up having to uninstall the original version and reinstall a new one.
Everything works perfect now.
Thanks,
Bill

sql developer hangs on startup - what can I do?

At present I cannot run it (SQL Developer 4.1) because it hangs on "Restoring Editors" while starting. I suppose I've done it by exiting it before by killing sql developer process because it was hanged on fetching objects to Schema Browser so long...
Maybe I would clean some temporary files but can't find any.
Any ideas?
Deleting files from c:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\SQL History
and c:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\System...
Really helped me to resolve the connection issues
Basing on this thread https://community.oracle.com/thread/2564842 I've created own solution.
Extract installation of current version SQL Developer (4.1.0.17.29)
At "c:\Users\MY_USER\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\"
I've changed directory name system4.1.0.17.29 to system4.1.0.17.28.
After running newly extracted SQL Developer (4.1.0.17.29) I was prompted to let copy configuration from version 4.1.0.17.28 to 4.1.0.17.29 ;)
Everything works great now. I suppose that running the same (broken) installation after decreasing version could also help.
Remove folders c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system4.1.3.20.78\system_cache*. SQLDeveloper will recreate it after launching.
Just execute sqldeveloper as administrator. It works fine!
In my case the problem was because of windows compatibility issue. So I've selected my windows version and it's stop from randomly crash after startup
Our setup:
Windows 10
Sqldeveloper Versions <= 20.4.0
We observed this problem as well. Even worse while working over a VPN connection. I followed a couple of hints with more or less no effect.
To move
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer
to a local directory by adding this line
AddVMOption -Dide.user.dir=c:\temp\sqldev-conf
in the \sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.conf file gave us some improvement, but the “IndexPreferencesTask” still got stuck several times on startup.
After some more hours on unsuccessful research, we moved back from JDK 11 to JDK 8.
This solved 99% of the problem. The “IndexPreferencesTask” still hangs on startup but for less than a second.
Sounds to me like a problem with JDK 11.
In my case when i changed Tools --> Preferences --> Environment -> Look and Feel to Windows it is solved.
Delete the History files from C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\sqldeveloper
Restart the PC
In my case, the solution was kind of weird. After battling to resolve this for 2 days, no luck. Suddenly, on my mac, I searched for sql developer, not sqldeveloper. It popped up a sqldeveloper application (not sure how that is different from what I have been trying to open ), clicked it and boom, it opened. My guess is that there is a copy of that app on my system that I should have been opening rather than trying to open the reinstalled app. Note: I reinstalled the app after it started misbehaving though.
Operating System: Windows 10
Oracle Sqldeveloper Ver: 17.4.0
The problem has been noticed sometime when any network security
patch was installed on your machine. Looks like the patch impacts
your cached data under your user profile folder.
As above Lakh, rtbf and others answered. Removing below folders
will resolve the issue.
C:\Users\<userId>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\SqlHistory
C:\Users\<userId>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer\system17.4.0.355.2349
If any one find more approriate reason please feel free to
disagree with my answer.

How to diagnose metro app deployment errors?

When trying to debug a Metro project from VS, I came across this error:
DEP0700 : Registration of the app failed. Another user has already installed a packaged version of this app. An unpackaged version cannot replace this. The conflicting package is PACKAGENAME and it was published by CN=some Guid. (0x80073cf9)
But I have already uninstalled the app from the Start page, also, I can confirm that there is no entry left in Add/Remove program.
And since the access to the "%PROGRAMFILES%\WindowsApps" folder where the app files reside in is blocked, so I have no way to see if the app is still there.
However, I can still find many 'PACKAGENAME' occurances in the registry.
How to diagnose this? How to get rid of the "packaged version" so I can start debugging from VS?
Try installing the app from the windows store again, and then uninstall it from the start page. It appears that when Visual Studio does the uninstall it doesn't do it right.
1) Go to your Package.appxmanifest file in your solution
2) Go to the identity tag.
<Identity Name="xxxxxxx-yyyy-zzzz-tttt-bbbbbbbbbbbbb"
Publisher="CN=bigbob"
Version="1.0.0.0" />
3) Change the value of the Identity Name (Ex from ...bbbbb to ...bbbbc)
4) Rebuild and run

Are you sure you didn't just unpin the app? Try doing a search for it and see if it is still there.
I find a solution to the problem. It's said it is a "staged package" that does not show up in my start page so I can not uninstall it in normal way. I follow the steps, and successfully get rid of that "un-uninstallable" :) package.
This blog post was helpful, although after an hour or so of troubleshooting it turns out that I had indeed installed the package under another user account. After switching accounts and uninstalling from the start screen it worked fine.

phpmyadmin blank screen after installing Zend server

I installed LAMP on Ubuntu 12.0.4 LTE. Then I installed phpmyadmin. Everything was good. I used phpadmin to do lots of DB administration....
Then I installed Zend CE server. Now, phpmyadmin throws a blank page. No login screen.
So, I reinstalled my VPS in the same sequence again. No luck. Same behavior.
This time, I installed Apache, Mysql, PHP and Zend server in that order. Then I installed phpmyadmin....Unfortunately, still blank page on phpmyadmin.
Any help?...Thanks in advance.
First, for all those that posted their suggestions to my above issue, thanks!.
Of course, I had to dig deeper into forums and threads to find the specific root cause and solution for this issue.....and after spending few hours...finally, I resolved it!. Thanks to the following bug discussion link on php.net.
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25876
I tired many suggested fixes there but they didn't help. The suggestion that finally fixed the problem was pasted below ( so that let the credit go to the right owner):

If you are gettin the following error:
"Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in...."
Make sure that you have setup the session save path in your php.ini:
session.save_path = "/tmp"
which seems to be disabled by default.
I swear using Open Source software is tough!. I have spent whole day on this issue alone. My goal was to build some software and I have yet to get to it!!.

Collaborative live editing using eclipse via FTP

There is a plugin for eclipse called 'Saros' that gives you the opportunity to edit and share a project in real time with one or more of your friends and edit a file live with your friend (you can write on the same line).
But this can be done only on local server.
Today I tried to share a project from my Connections button but it didn't worked (I think 'Saros can't see through Connections button')
Anyways.There is another way to edit my project via FTP with eclipse or another program, live?
Thank you!
May be try as an alternative aptana studio. http://www.aptana.org/products/studio3/download

Netbeans Resolve missing server

I've encountered a problem with my Netbeans 6.1 IDE.
After an unsuccessful update, Netbeans stopped recognizing Apache and Glassfish servers and requested me to resolve a missing server error, after which I opened a window to add a server, except there were none listed. Trying to add servers in the list yields no results as there isn't even a single server type to be chosen.
Reinstalling Netbeans didn't fix the problem. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
When you reinstalled did you manually delete the "C:\Documents and Settings\omuhammed.netbeans" directory? apart from deleting the folder in "Program Files"? before reinstalling? This usually works for me.
After reinstaling i didn`t done that, and the result was the same. More people had complains about this but i found no direct answer. I have done it the "hard" way and downloaded 6.5 version and everything is ok after instalation.
The same thing happened with me also. As I opened one project which was created by some other user. But here it says, server is missing and I need to resolve it. When select Resolve server missing problem, window with blank list of servers is shown. When I opened 'Server Manager' window, there it is showing Bundled Tomcat. but there is noway to add the same server to the required project. At the same time, some projects, created in the same machine is running properly.
I could not see any proper reason and solution for the problem even in the net resources also.
any and all suggestion are highly appreciated.

After uninstalled the netbeans, then i delete the "C:\Documents and Settings.netbeans", "C:\Documents and Settings.nbi", "C:\Documents and Settings.netbeans-derby", and "C:\Documents and Settings.netbeans-registration" directories. After that i reinstall the netbeans. It works! Thank you omer mohammed!
Right click your project and next click resolve missing server. Open dialog box so you will add server in current glash fish server next solve your problem.
While installing select customize button. Select only tomcat, un-check glass fish and then proceed installation. It will work like charm.
