XAMPP mysql run error

[evolutionxbox]

In command prompt after running 'xampp_start.exe'.

Code: Select all

mysql\bin\mysqld.exe: unknown option --skip-federated

SAY WHA?

[evolutionxbox]

Found this line in 'my.cnf':

Code: Select all

# commented in by lampp security
#skip-networking
skip-federated - this line apparently needed to be commented out.

I did this:

Code: Select all

# commented in by lampp security
#skip-networking
#skip-federated

Now it works.
