Hello,
I installed xampp for windows without the module MySQL, since I had MySQL community edition already installed and working on my system.
Now, when I open the xampp control panel I see that the MySQL start and stop buttons are greyed out (as expected since the xampp MySQL module has not been included within the xampp installation set).
I guess the xampp configuration files could be modified/customized so as to have my current MySQL installation activable fro the xampp control panel. I've bee trying several options but so far I did not succeed.
Any help? Thank you Andrea
