I thought it's worth the trouble uninstalling the 1.6.7 version of XAMPP to install the 1.7 version, and that the new version is a completely flawless alien technology version.
I already had my 1.6.7 working well, but when I completely removed it to install the 1.7 XAMPP, the phpMyAdmin is not working, unfortunately. It gives the following error message:
Error
MySQL said:
#2003 - The server is not responding
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
I am sure the XAMPP CP is working, the MySQL service is installed, and all services are Running. I tried messing around with the config.inc.php file, but no luck. I do have a backup copy of it that I restore whenever an attempt fails.
There is also one more thing. When launching the WinMySQLAdmin 1.4 through the XAMPP CP, it gives me the Access Violation message. It says:
Access Violation at address 1000A1F7 in module 'LIBMYSQL.dll'. Read of address 00000000. I did set a username and password other than the usual 'root' and 'nopassword' ones, but no luck. I had this problem in my 1.6.7 version, but I fixed it through the config.inc.php file.
Desperately needing the XAMPP to work well. Thanks in advance.
