phpmyadmin problem.

[FreddieBambino]

Hi, I am a noob. =)

I just downloaded xampp. No problem with it in many ways, have made some webisites and they show up no problem from localhost directories.

But when I go to http://localhost and press enter and go to the welcome page, I can not enter phpmyadmin nor status page. I can access all the other pages but not those two. When I press to go to phpmyadmin or status the browser searches for like 1 minute and then finally returns with the page, but with nothing on it, not even an error message, just blank page.

Help please.

Any clue in the xampp\apache\logs\error.log file?

[FreddieBambino]

Yebb, you are right.
THis came up:
[Wed Feb 25 08:26:58 2009] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/phpadmin

How can the file not exist?

[Izzy]

File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/phpadmin

This may be a typo perhaps as it should say /phpmyadmin not phpadmin?

phpMyAdmin is Aliased in the apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file.

Try http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin or http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser and see if it lets you access it.

No you are right. I first made a typo but then I spelled it correctly and the problem came up. =), sorry.

So do you have any clue what the problem might be?

[Wiedmann]

but then I spelled it correctly and the problem came up.

And what's the error message without the typo in the URI?

[FreddieBambino]

I tried both the links and it failed as usual. =(

[FreddieBambino]

It´s the problem like I said, the browser just searches for like 1 minute and then it returns with an empty page not even any error page.

[FreddieBambino]

And there comes no additional error in the log file.

Don´t worry about it mate. I think I found the problem. I think my mysql port is set up wrong.
When I try to connect php and mysql the same thing happens, browser searches for like 1 minute but then returns with this message:
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)

It is probably because I had already installed mysql before I installed apache so there was some mix of the ports.
I have been searching plenty on the internet for a solution but it seems the only thing that works is throwing the whole thing out along with the single mysql installation and installing it fresh again.
Thanks anyway, cheers.
