New Install ...MySQL not loading.

Hi Guys

New here, so please be kind!

I have just installed XAMPP 1.8.2

When I start the Control Panel, Apache loads fine, but I seem to have a problem with MySQL path. I get this error message in the Control Console:

11:28:45 [main] Initializing Modules
11:28:45 [mysql] MySQL Service detected with wrong path
11:28:45 [mysql] Change XAMPP MySQL and Control Panel settings or
11:28:45 [mysql] Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
11:28:45 [mysql] Found Path: C:\XAMMP\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld --defaults-file=C:\XAMMP\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini mysql
11:28:45 [mysql] Expected Path: c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=c:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini mysql

11:28:45 [main] Starting Check-Timer

In my first install, (from ZIP) I created a folder XAMMP, and installed everything there. (It is spelled wrong, I know!) MySQL worked fine. Then I did a re-install (from EXE) at root ( C:\xampp ) and now I can't get MySQL to start from the Control Panel, I need to manually start it every time from the batch file, mysql_start.

Any suggestions please.

Thank you

Neil

Hi enemes,

uninstall the wrong mysql Service by clicking the green check icon in the control panel.

best wishes,

Altrea ...
...many thanks! Running great now!
I wasn't sure what those green/red icons were for. I assumed a green check was a good thing :-)

I am trying to learn PHP, MySQL and XAMPP from scratch ...so I will be around on this forum for a while I think!

Great Work!

green tick means: there is a windows service (autostart) registered for the configurated service name
red cross means: there is no windows service (autostart) registered for the configurated service name

none of them is better then the other. XAMPP can run very well without windows services.
