I have successfully installed XAMPP but I find that the MySQL database is deactivated in the status page. All apps seem to start fine and I have tried manually starting mysql using startmysql command but haven't been able to get it working.
I also get this message when starting phpmyadmin
Existing configuration file (./config.inc.php) is not readable.
but I assume that problem is related to the first.
Thanks for any assistance
