Apache Friends Support Forum

Everything seemed to be running fine the a couple days ago. Now mysql won't start. Apache starts ok. I've tried a few things I found after searching, like running the xampp.stop.exe and xampp.start.exe. I've restarted windows. I ran xampp-portcheck.exe and it shows mysql on port 3306 and says it's free.

What should I do here? I haven't done anything to make a change since it was running fine.

What should I do here?

Maybe reading the *.err file can help.

I don't see a mysql .err file. The apache error file didn't have anything about mysql in it. But after running mysql.bat Here it is.

Ah, ok, you are using an old XAMPP.

Did you have same "host.*" files in "\xampp\mysql\data\mysql"?

It's xampp 1.7.1

I have one file in \xampp\mysql\data\mysql called host.frm. I tried opening it but my test editor can't read it.

Edit...

I found an error log in the data directory - in a file named after the computer:

And here is one named mysql_error.log (should have looked closer in data directory I guess.

So does this mean InnoDB is disabled and I need to enable it?
