MySQL Admin in Control Panel

Having some issues getting my Blog setup locally. Before I get into those problems a clue might be that when i access the XAMPP Control panel I see Apache and MySQL running. When I click admin for Apache it takes me to XAMPP for Windows welcome page and I can check the status of running products. However when in the XAMPP Control Panel and I click Admin for MySQL nothing happens. I assume something should. This might be a clue to the error I receive when trying to access my blog that a database connection could not be established. Or not?

Your help appreciated

Thanks

What does the error log file say?

When I click on said "Admin" button for MySQL my web browser comes to the foreground and shows me phpMyAdmin.

Hi, Cant seem to find a MySQL logfile. I can find an error log for Apache. This might be a clue

Wed Aug 03 10:35:39 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/htdocs

However that folder does exist. Muy only thought is do I need to change the client 127.0.0.1 to localhost somewhere as my Blog server name is localhost. My knowledge is limited so this might just be how Apache gets there - I dont know!

You have a htdocs folder inside your htdocs folder? :shock:

NOPE! Just have XAMPP top level of C: and then the XAMPP folder with htdocs in it.

Weird I know.

Thx

Then reread the error message one more time CAREFULLY.

It is easier to copy and paste - no errors by me then. I did have my blog in the folder www - I realised this was wrong and moved it to htdocs (Recd bad advice where it shud be located!)

I think the fact that nothing happens when I click ADMIN on the control panel and nothing happens is something to do with the problem - but hey what do I know?
