Hello,
I downloaded XAMPP for XP Pro (service pack 2) and can not get it working at all. The installation seemed to go fine and when I open the XAMPP Control Panel and click on the “Start” buttons for Apache and MySQL they both start up and give me the green bar. Then when I go to http://127.0.0.1/xampp/index.php I get the Welcome to XAMPP for Windows Version 1.6.5 page. I click on the “Status” link and go to the XAMPP Status page where MySQL Database, PHP, HTTPS (SSL), Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Server Side Includes (SSI), and SMTP Service are all “Activated” – FTP Service is the only function that is “Deactivated”. OK, so far so good.
When I click on “phpMyAdmin” link and go to the home page, I start having problems. First I checked on the “Storage Engine” link and the InnoDB Engine is grayed out along with the BerkeleyDB and several others.
When I use the interface to select any existing database and try to add one field to one of the tables, I get an error message that says…
“tbl_addfield.php missing parameter: numfields (FAQ 2.”.
And if I try to run any query in the “SQL tab” like “SELECT * FROM pma_bookmark;” I get an error page that says…
“import.php: Missing parameter: import_type (FAQ 2.”.
“import.php: Missing parameter: format (FAQ 2.”.
All the error messages refer to FAQ 2.8 which I have checked and when I go to the ini files the values are as the FAQ requires. The FAQ does mention “using Hardened PHP” but I have no idea what that is.
Could somebody me help me here? I figure that something is wrong with one of the ini files somewhere, but can’t figure this out. I really appreciate the help!
Cheers,
Rick
