ERROR: MySql service not started [-1]
Posted: 16. May 2011 06:52
Hey guys, I first installed XAMPP with the installer for Windows and uninstalled it using the .exe file in the C:\xampp folder (I forgot what that was called). Then some folders were left over so I deleted them manually, just by pressing Ctrl+A and Shift+Del. Then I downloaded the XAMPP zip file and followed the instructions for installing without the installer, and now that I've set up everything, Apache would run in xampp-control but not MySQL. Whenever I click on "Start" the message "ERROR: MySql service not started [-1]" always appears. What do I do?
