Hi,
I downloaded the xampp win32 -1.7.0 file and installed on the C drive programs folder of windows xp. The setup_xampp.bat was run and then the apache_start.bat, but it is not working, most of the message is as follows:
"MySql stop.....
Apache killed
pv no matching processes found.
Attention cannot delete the http.pid!
mysql\lbin\mysqladmin.exe: connect to local server at "local host failed"
error "cannot connect to Mysql on local host "10061"
check that mysql is running on local host and that the port is "3306"
##mysql and apache are starting##"
I am unable to start Apache using the control panel. SQL appears as running when start is selected. I have followed and repeated over and over the instructions in the quick read me file for installation but receive different messages like above, I am novice and would appreciate any advise.
thanks,
Aqua
