I have installed XAMPP in WinXP and can run Apache and Filezilla. When I try to start MySQL I get this:
Diese Eingabeforderung nicht waehrend des Running beenden
Please dont close Window while MySQL is running
MySQL is trying to start
Please wait ...
MySQL is starting with mysql\bin\my.cnf (console)
090205 18:34:27 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 46409
Can't start server: listen() on TCP/IP port: No such file or directory

Press any key to continue . . .

Port 3306 is free. I have tried the uninstall bat file for MySQL and then tried starting it again.
Any thoughts about what else to try or what other information would be helpful? Thanks!
