Apache Friends Support Forum

for the first day when I installed xampp 1.7.7 it worked fine, but the second day when I try to access http://localhost/phpmyadmin , it shows me an error --> access denied, this server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured) , so the problem is with MySql, I tried to search on the internet and all the forum shows that skype is listening to port 80 or 443, but I don't have skype on my pc. Please help me!

hi aman,

did you start myaql first?

hi aman,

View the list of services installed on your system and check if MySQL service is installed. If MySQL is installed, try starting it from the XAMPP control panel, it should start running then. If the problem still persist then you probably have a problem with your Apache service not MySQL of which am also having troubles dealing with.

Maybe the OP don't use windows services. It is recommend to just install windows services if really needed and if everything is already working without them. Windows Services can cause some issues which you don't have without them.

Thats simply wrong. The OPs Apache Server is already responsing, otherwise there wouldn't be the message that the access was denied. This page already was served by apache.
