Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi, I am a noob. =)

I just downloaded xampp. No problem with it in many ways, have made some webisites and they show up no problem from localhost directories.

But when I go to http://localhost and press enter and go to the welcome page, I can not enter phpmyadmin nor status page. I can access all the other pages but not those two. When I press to go to phpmyadmin or status the browser searches for like 1 minute and then finally returns with the page, but with nothing on it, not even an error message, just blank page.

Help please.

Any clue in the xampp\apache\logs\error.log file?

Yebb, you are right.
THis came up:
[Wed Feb 25 08:26:58 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/phpadmin

How can the file not exist?

File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/phpadmin

This may be a typo perhaps as it should say /phpmyadmin not phpadmin?

phpMyAdmin is Aliased in the apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file.

Try http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin or http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser and see if it lets you access it.

No you are right. I first made a typo but then I spelled it correctly and the problem came up. =), sorry.

So do you have any clue what the problem might be?

but then I spelled it correctly and the problem came up.

And what's the error message without the typo in the URI?

I tried both the links and it failed as usual. =(

It´s the problem like I said, the browser just searches for like 1 minute and then it returns with an empty page not even any error page.

And there comes no additional error in the log file.

Don´t worry about it mate. I think I found the problem. I think my mysql port is set up wrong.
When I try to connect php and mysql the same thing happens, browser searches for like 1 minute but then returns with this message:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

It is probably because I had already installed mysql before I installed apache so there was some mix of the ports.
I have been searching plenty on the internet for a solution but it seems the only thing that works is throwing the whole thing out along with the single mysql installation and installing it fresh again.
Thanks anyway, cheers.
