I got an error on the XAMPP Control Panel that says "You are not running with administrator rights. This will work for most application stuff but whenever you do something with services there will be a security dialogue or things will break! So think about running this application with administrator rights!"
I uninstalled xampp and reinstalled, getting v1.8.0
I am logged into my computer with administrator rights. I am the only person who has ever logged into this computer. I have always had administrator rights.
I have been using phpmyadmin, MySql, and PHP for a couple of months without problem. Now I can start Apache, but not phpmyadmin.
When I type http://localhost into my browser I get the correct screen but when I click on phpmyadmin I get "#2002 An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured). Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed."
Can anyone help please?
