Apache Friends Support Forum

i am very new to xampp apache, sql all showing "running I am not sure what i did wrong. http://localhost/ shows page perfect i click the phpmyadmin password works everything but i see a blank page after loading.

Missing support info - what XAMPP version and which Windows OS?

What password?

On a default installation there is no password for user root for phpMyAdmin/MySQL until you set one in the Security menu item in the Welcome Page http://localhost/

Please read the readme_en.txt file in the xampp folder.

xampp version 1.7.2 i havent changed password from root yet im using vista

So when you type http://localhost/phpmyadmin and you get the page to enter username and password, you enter root in the username box and leave the password empty, then you click on Go and get a blank page, is that correct?

yes

Are you logged into Vista as an Administrator and do you have the UAC disabled?

Were you logged into Vista as an administrator when you installed XAMPP.

Did you install to the C:\ root folder or the C:\Program Files\ folder ?

Are there any clues in the xampp\apache\logs\error.log file at the date and time you access phpMyAdmin?

I suspect that your installation may be faulty.

1. yes i am admin
2. yes i was logged as admin
3.installed in C:\

thanks for your patience with this.

Where is that link you clicked on exactly?

http://localhost/phpinfo.php also i tried typing http://localhost/security/ nothing showed

I don't know that link, I know http://localhost/xampp/phpinfo.php

You say you can go to the XAMPP Welcome page at http://locahost

Can you click on the Demos and get them all to work.

What happens when you click on the link in the menu for Security and phpMyAdmin?

Do they work from the menu in the Welcome Page?

Have you tried to reboot?

http://localhost/appserv/README-en-us.p ... lang=en-us says http 404 not found all other links on page work i do not show a security link and i type localhost/security like it says in file i get 404 error
yes i did a reboot

appserv has nothing to do with XAMPP so I think you have everything mixed up here.

Go to the C:\xampp folder and double click on xampp-control.exe and start Apache and MySQL so they both show a green running indication.

Stop your appserv before trying to start XAMPP and you really don't need both appserv and XAMPP or things, like now, will get confusing for you.
