Hi
Have been using xampp for a few years now with no problems but all of a sudden Apache and MySQL won't start - tried new uninstall/new install in on different drives and instal goes fine as usual, but no joy with apache/mysql.
MY SETUP:
Windows xp SP3
xampp-win32-1.7.0-installer.exe
Zone Alarm firewall v8.0.298.000
I had Virgin Media installed this week and am running a virgin ethernet web connection - the xampp problems have started since then so this may be related, but i'm not sure.
REMEDIES:
I've tried starting apache via the xampp control panel and the .bat file but no joy.
I CAN open http://localhost/xampp/ so my installation appears to be working - here's Status messages:
MySQL database DEACTIVATED
For phpMyAdmin I get the following error:
#2003 - The server is not responding
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
I've added 127.0.0.1 to my trusted zone in ZoneAlarm as "localhost" but no joy.
Can anyone advise me here please???
Thanks in advance
