MySQL won't start either
Posted: 25. January 2009 15:51
Hello
I am having similar problems to bvoltz.
Within XAMPP control panel Apache starts fine, but MySQL does NOT. Gives " ERROR: MySQL service not started [-1] "
I have uninstalled & reinstalled but without success. There must be something erroneous written into the registry ???
Also by opening Services (via [SCM...] button) I see that MySQL is attempting to use the file c:/xampp/mysql/bin/mysqld-shareware.exe which indeed does not exist (although there are plenty of very similarly named .exe files in that /bin/ directory).
Any thoughts??? Many thanks.
