Apache Friends Support Forum

Just installed XAMPP Control Panel. Got Apache running, but MySQL doesn't seem to want to play nice. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the output:

There's more in that window than this. If you don't see any specific error message, run the control panel with admin rights, and attempt to start. Then copy/paste entire log window (not just the snippet).

.

Deleted my previous post in favor of this one: I realized there's a debug mode.
