Was having problems getting Joomla to run properly so I tried reinstalling XAMPP on my Mac as follows. I deleted all the XAMPP files in my finder applications XAMPP folder. Restarted the Mac and then reinstalled XAMPP. The control panel shows MySQL as running but now I get the message when trying to install Joomla using the Joomla Web Installer "Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL". I suspect the problem results from my novice approach to reinstalling XAMPP. Please advise.
