Installing xampp blues

Change of machine and installing xampp 1.4.15 … and it’s the old problem of a computer that can’t find the localhost.

Command Prompt says, ‘Can’t connect to MySQL Server on ‘localhost’ (10061)’;


When I close xampp, I see a flash of ‘cannot delete …’ but it’s too quick to read the name of the file that can’t be deleted.

Doing the net start mysql routine on c: on the command prompt brings ‘The service name is invalid.’ Yet I can change directories through to mysql\bin.
