Session cache not configured error

Hi there,

Can anyone please help me. I am new to this so please bear with me. I am trying to run xampp v3.1.0.3.1.0. on Vista. I get the following error message every time on Apache and SQL:

Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
Check the "/xampp/mysql/data/mysql_error.log" file
and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

This is what i get in the error log.

[Wed Jun 19 13:20:12.880659 2013] [ssl:warn] [pid 5124:tid 224] AH01873: Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]

I have run a netstat command and the port 80 doesn't seem to be being used. I have tried inserting the following as advised in another post on here:

Open file \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
Somewhere in the LoadModule area add the following line
CODE: SELECT ALL
LoadModule socache_shmcb_module modules/mod_socache_shmcb.so
save the file
open file \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf
~ line 70 add the line
CODE: SELECT ALL
SSLSessionCache "shmcb:logs/ssl_scache(512000)"
save the file
restart Apache

it still isn't working...

any ideas please?

Many thanks

Mmorriss

MySQL uses port 3306 by default - not port 80.

Thank you JJ_Tagy,

I just found this advice about regular issues http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xampp-windows.html#vista

It advises turning off User Account Control. This seems to have done the trick! :D
