Quick Question About Exiting WampServer

[Dan-Kode]

Hey there.

I've recently began using WampServer and I've got a quick question about exiting the Program. It's that when I right-click on the WampServer Icon in the System-Tray and click exit, does it fully exit the Program and kill all processes or do I need to use some sort of Command to fully kill-off the Program.

Thanks.

My experience with XAMPP was that the services are still running when the XAMPP control panel is terminated. I guess that WAMP would work the same?

I just tried this with XAMPP (Windows), turned on all services (Apache, MySQL) then fully closed it. However, it did not shut down services. I believe you'll have to do this manually through XAMPP. But then again I was using XAMPP not WAMP. Could potentially be the same.

I think the way to stop the Services is by doing:

• Win + R
• Type in services.msc
• Look for anything beginning with 'wamp' or whatever yours might be

You can also go to your background programs running and click the wamp services and 'stop all services'

That's what I do. I'm just curious if it's still running after I exit(Although, I doubt it is).

Turned off my computer last night and went this morning I tried seeing it was still running. I opened up my browser and went to localhost and a site popped up, I also checked the background running apps and didn't see it. So you do have to stop all services.
