If you are installing to an external HD that you intend to be portable then you should download the zip or 7zip version and extract the xampp folder so you have for example C:xampp on your external HD. How to install xampp on external drive? Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related. 3 posts. Page 1 of 1. How to install xampp on external drive? September 2008 14:13. I have an external usb hard drive 'ExtHD1TB' with an NTFS file system. I installed XAMPP in my PC with kubuntu 20.04 (ext4 file system) I want to access my sites from xampp directly from the external hard drive because in my work I have to use a windows pc, which also has XAMPP installed and I can access my external hard drive sites to work with. On the home page, you can find the option to download XAMPP for three platforms- Windows, MAC. I was thinking that i could put the database on a usb drive and just use different binaries depending on the system i was working on. Im looking around I've seen several posts about similar things but there seems to be issues (which i have run into) with xampp for mac being hardcoded to run out of /Applications and refuses to run from /Volumes.

As a PHP developer, you sometimes need to share your XAMPP installation to different computers. This might be to show your teammates what you’ve worked so far or allow them to change a code too. You might also have several computers and you need to access XAMPP from all of them.
To access XAMPP in another computer on your local network, you just have to know the Computer name of the one where you install xampp. For example, the netbook where I installed XAMPP has a computer name lenovo. To access my XAMPP installation from another laptop, I just have to go to http://lenovo or http://lenovo/xampp.
If you can’t access the XAMPP homepage from another computer on your local network, you might be running a firewall on the computer you’re trying to access it from.
You have to make sure that httpd and mysqld are allowed through your Windows Firewall. To do this, open Windows Firewall by searching for windows firewall from the Start Menu.
Open Windows Firewall and click on Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall on the left side of the screen. Click the Change Settings button and make sure httpd.exe and mysqld.exe are checked. Try to access http://computer_name and see if you can already access XAMPP.
If you don’t know the computer name of the one where XAMPP is installed, just right click on My Computer and choose Properties. It should be there.
