Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello,
I have just installed XAMPP using the .zip package and successfully run the setup_xampp.bat file. I started the XAMPP Control Panel 3 v. 3.0.2 and started the Apache and MySQL.

On the status page, it indicates that MySQL database DEACTIVATED and when trying to enter PhpMyAdmin, i get this error:

Code: Select all

#2002 – The server is not responding (or local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

How can I fix this to make PhpMyAdmin and the rest work?

Try this:
Open \xampp\mysql\my.ini file in your text editor and find this line and remove the # character from the start of the line

#bind-address="127.0.0.1"

Save the file and try and start MySQL again.

Good luck.
