I went back to Apache, PHP and MySQL.
The installation of Apache and PHP went off without a hitch... but, MySQL just won't want to start!
I try:
- Code: Select all
net start mysql
and it says
- Code: Select all
The service started successfully.
So I go and try to shut it off:
- Code: Select all
net stop mysql
and the weirdest thing comes up...
- Code: Select all
The service hasn't been started!
Error 1006.
Huh! So it didn't want to start in the first place!
So now to 'remove' the service and try just allowing MySQL to add the basic data in... but hold on, what's this?
- Code: Select all
mysqld-max-nt --console
and in return:
- Code: Select all
070123 20:41:21 [ERROR] Can't find message file 'C:\Program Files\xampp\share\english\errmsg.sys'
070123 20:41:21 [ERROR] Aborting
I have removed all of the Xampp directory but what's going on?
Thanks in advance for any help!
