XAMPP 1.7.4 giving problems.
Posted: 20. February 2011 10:36
I just installed XAMPP 1.7.4 on my Windows 7 64-bit PC. I previously had 1.7.3, and I never updated before. I didn't see an updater, so I just install 1.7.4 over 1.7.3. Now when I went on to open the control panel I got an error:
So, like the last sentence said, I went into c:\xampp and ran the cp from there. Same error. If i tried clicking start or stop the mini-console says it started, but the buttons don't change. If I use the bat files in the root directory, it says the .exe's for apache and myswl aren't found, but if I navigate to their respective directories, they are there. I also tried restarting my pc.
What do I do? I can't even backup my mysql databases because the services cant even start.
XAMPP Component Status Check Failure [-2].
Current directory: c:\xampp
Run this program only from your root XAMPP directory.
