After giving up on learning php/sql a year ago I decided to try again. Loaded the “wamp” package of apache/mysql/php and was unable to load mysql after hours of trying. Read that “xampp” was easier to install and still have the same problem. Running on XP, turned off firewall, able to open “localhost/xampp”. Changed to php4 after reading elsewhere that php5 is unproven and still get “ERROR: MySql service not started [-1]” HELP !!!!!!!!!!!….stuck on Duhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!(it must really be easy, because I’m trying too hard !!)
