Ports keep on being a nuisance. Please help
Posted: 21. March 2009 12:08
Hi,
I think I tried about every advice in your FAQ about the XAMPP install problem about ports 80 and 443 being in use.
I removed everything from the first installation, following your warning that installing over and over again would cause problems; I reinstalled XAMPP; same warning.
I did inactivate UAC, did change Skype, I uninstalled both Apache and Mysql services, rebooted, checked the ports, saw they were free, restarted the services, rechecked the ports and saw no change:
Apache http port 80 (system)
apache webdev port 81 (free)
apache https port 443 (system)
My SQL port 3306 ( system).
When I enter localhost, there is a problem, 127.0.0.1 gives my the german XAMP page (apparently loaded successfully), but when I click on tools/PhPMyadmin the error message is: ( in Dutch) cannot load Mysql extention, please check php configuration.
When I try to access 127.0.0.1/joomla, its works, but tells me the Mysql isn't active. So I stop the install.
Apparently, the XAMPP control panel is being fooled, because here, the message is that the service is running.
What can I possibly do more to get the system running, please.
Sincerly,
a desperate new user...
