What I am trying to do is to work offline on osCommerce.

I installed XAMPP, with using the XAMPP Control Panel I try start Apache and MySql.

ERROR: Apache/Mysql service not started

Filezilla works.

I reinstalled, but no results. What can I do?

Thank you in advance and have a nice day

Is this your first install of XAMPP ?

do you use any filesharing software ?, if yes--- stop ist and then start MySQL


Open a DOSbox, go manuel with "cd" command into the XAMPP folder
start the "mysql_start.bat" , normal there comes a message why mysql not start.

testing and statement, please

Hello Deepsurfer,

Thank you for your reply,

This is my first install of XAMPP, but not my first 'mysql/apache' install. I installed them both a while ago, but removed them as they didn't work.

I don't know if I use any filesharing, but I disabled know 'firewall' and 'virusscanner'

After I followed your instructions, I got this;

C:\Program Files\xampp>mysql_start.bat
Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden
Please dont close Window while MySQL is running
MySQL is trying to start
Please wait ...
MySQL is starting with mysql\bin\my.cnf (console)
060615 6:28:57 [Note] mysql\bin\mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '5.0.21-community' socket: '' port: 3306 MySQL Community Edition (GP

Thanks again for your reply, have a nice day.

I don't know what I exactly did, but Apache en Mysql work.
But I can't start them from the XAMPP control panel, when I try to start apache, I get the error message;
"Apache service not started [-1]"

It is the same with Mysql
"MySql service not started [-1]"

At the moment I start up from a DOS window.

Thank you for your answer an d have a nice day.

Version: '5.0.21-community' socket: '' port: 3306 MySQL Community Edition (GPL)

Any other Programm block the Port 3306.

You say that you have apache/mysql installed a long time befor, if that possible that you dont stop the mysql services from this installation ?

But I can't start them from the XAMPP control panel, when I try to start apache, I get the error message;
...
At the moment I start up from a DOS window.

- stop XAMPP
- close control panel
- open a comand prompt ("cmd.exe")
- execute the following commands:

Code: Select all

sc delete Apache2
sc delete mysql

- install the services with:

Code: Select all

\xampp\apache\apache_installservice.bat
\xampp\mysql\mysql_installservice.bat

- start the control panel
- start Apache/MySQL
--> ready.

Thank you problem is solved your way,



Paul
