Unfortunatley I still have not come much further than last...

Now my MYSQL Server wont connect...I reinstalled XAMPP now and just before the completed installation Iit said that port 3306 (The mysql port ) is in use , but my panel says that it cant connect to mysql...however the port check says that my port 3306 or mysql is set for mysql but the mysql start programme suggests that a InnoDB File is in use and blocking the port...I cant find any antivirus software on this computer which it could be.

Help would be much appreciated, thank you.

@echo off
echo Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden
echo Please dont close Window while MySQL is running
This is wot my mysql notepad had to say:

echo MySQL is trying to start
echo Please wait ...
echo MySQL is starting with mysql\bin\my.cnf (console)

mysql\bin\mysqld --defaults-file=mysql\bin\my.cnf --standalone --console

if errorlevel 1 goto error
goto finish

:error
echo.
echo MySQL konnte nicht gestartet werden
echo MySQL could not be started
pause

:finish

however my status on the localhost xampp says my msqyl is activated...So sorry but something is really confusing me right now.

and now my joomla web installer is saying: Could not connect to the database. Connector returned number: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

If phpMyAdmin also works well, your MySQL is OK.

and now my joomla web installer is saying: Could not connect to the database.

Well I guess, you have used some wrong MySQL parameters in the Joomla installer.

So wot can I do now?

Use the correct parameters, if the Joomla installer is asking you for the MySQL parameters.

Check the Joomla installation instructions. and visit the Joomla site for help with Joomla.

You may have to create the database in phpMyAdmin for Joomla then tell Joomla installation what those database details are, for example:
Database Host = localhost
Database Name = what you created in phpMyAdmin
Database User Name= what you created in phpMyAdmin
Database User Name password = what you created in phpMyAdmin

Do a forum search for Keyword joomla in the XAMPP for Windows forum and select All available in the characters of posts drop menu and see what the results have to say as there have been quite a few Joomla related posts in the past.
