Hi,
i just installed xampplite 1.67 today and was surprised to see this error. I am using XP SP3. I can get into PHPMYAdmin and what have you but need to correct this error.
many tanks in advance,
Sue

either
use auth_type "http"
or
uncomment
;extension=php_mcrypt.dll
(remove ";") in xampplite\apache\bin\php.ini ) and restart apache

Sari,
I figured it out. the php.ini file is actually in 2 places and has to be changed in both places.
kind regards,
sue
