XAMPP 1.6.8 and Visa Home Premium
Posted: 22. October 2008 14:00
I have recently installed XAMPP 1.6.8 on a Vista Home Premium with SP1.
The installation went OK, but after the installation MySQL is not firing up. When try to start it from the XAMPP control panel I get the following error
Error: MySQL service not started [-1]
When trying to start MySQL from Winodws Services, I get the following error:
Wondows could not start the Mysql service on Local Computer.
Error 2: The system could not find the file specified.
This is the file path as shown in Windows services for MySQL:
C:/xampp/mysql/bin/mysqld-shareware.exe
Is this pointing to a correct executable?
How do I solve this problem? I have re-installed it many times. I have even installed XAMPP V1.6.6a but with the same result.
Any help would be much appreciated.
