Why have you cross posted this to another forum?
Try and delete the other post by clicking on the blue X.
It is not good forum etiquette to cross post.


Is MySQL running in the XAMPP Control Panel?

Is that the full error message?

What version of XAMPP are you using?

ups...sorry, i have never join a forum before (lacked of experience) and i did not know that post the same thing in the other forum is not a good etiquette :(..i won't do that again...
hmmm, well
1. MySql already running in the XAMPP control Panel
2. no, there's another message: "connection for controluser as defined in your configuration is failed"..that's all
3. i use XAMPP 1.7.3 for windows

thanks for your help and your lesson of 25 forum etiquette :)

God Bless U
