Hi Folks,
First .. if I decide to have XAMPP and WAMP installed, and then turn on one services at a time by hand (for now) is there any potential clash of significance ? I am thinking of doing that to see if MYSQL loads properly under WAMP.
============================
CONFIGURATION
xampp installed at xp-pro in d:\xampp
Apache server starts fine
PROBLEM
http://localhost/xampp/
"Status -
MySQL database decactivated"
And then I try to start MySQL from Xampp control panel
"Busy
MySQL Service started"
(but it does not start)
Try Browser :
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
"Welcome to phpMyAdmin
Error
MySQL said:
#2003 - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed."
services.msc
"Could not start the MySQL service on Local Computer.
Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly."
mysql.err
100304 20:41:02 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.
100304 20:41:04 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 46409
100304 20:41:06 [Note] Event Scheduler: Loaded 0 events
100304 20:41:06 [Note] D:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe: ready for connections.
Version: '5.1.41' socket: '' port: 3306 Source distribution
Only shows this once though.
Run Currports from Xampp control panel
(Port-check)
Shows port 3306 open
Mysql 3306 free
Windows Firewall off
Firewall Online armor paid shows no problem, and same message when Firewall temporarily deactivated.

One answer about "controluser" message was:
this is only a phpmyadmin warning message.
you have to update the password from pma user with the new
config.inc.php:$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass']
My config.inc.php file (untouched, unmodified) has
/* User for advanced features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';
It is hard for me to know if that is applicable, I have a pure, unmodified Xampp install so should not have to mess with passwords, yet.
========================================
Other suggestions here and there:
Clear Firefox Browser Cache (done)
Remove, deactivate IIS
"I've resolved this by removing the my.ini file from the windows directory! "
========================================
Am I missing something very basic ?
Your suggestions ?
Thanks for any assistance.
Shalom,
