Apache Friends Support Forum

Status displays MySQL database DEACTIVATED at V 1.4.3.
But I guess server run successfully and mysql connection be okay.
How to kill this bad signal?

Are you viewing this using ssl (https://xampp....)? If so, this is why you're getting the deactivated status.

Its been like this for a while, on a standard http call and mysql is definitly working.

Hi all,
first a MASSIVE thank you to the genius's at Apache Friends and who ever else is responsible for creating/maintaining/supporting this amazing software!

I had installed XAMPP fine and set-up the Mercury Mail and Python, but after getting Python to work after inserting the registry settings found also on this forum the MySQL database does not start itself, I have to manually go into the XAMPP folder and click the file 'mysql_start.bat' for it to run.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Oh, it is not so easy to install auto-start.
Open windows prompt(dos windows) and go to mysql\bin path.

D:\xampp\mysql\bin>mysqld-max-nt --install

Hi thanks for the help, I really apreciate this.

Problem is still the MySQL not starting automatically. Following your advice I managed to install it as a Windows 2000 service and it now has an entry in Windows 2000 services and is selected to start Automatically but errors when trying to start saying:

"Could not start the mySQL service on Local Computer.

Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly."

Any ideas would be much appreciated, but I understand this is not a major issue seeing as I successfully found a way around which is to use shortcut from XAMPP folder "start_mysql.bat" (or similar file name) and copy and place in the start menu folder 'Startup' which works fine but I would like running as a service so it starts before the logon screen for windows and also is logged in the Windows System Logs and Windows Performance Logs.

Many thanks you darling!

My mysql is running fine but shows as deactivated in the xampp status check with 1.4.5
