I am having the same problem; after a computer change from Windows XP to Windows 7 and installing XAMPP 1.7.4, I can't get mySQL to start. I have googled around and made and tried changing configuration files, sockets, adding xdebug, all the suggestions I found, to no avail. My keyboard works fine. What I haven't tried changing is any Windows files, firewalls, etc., because I wouldn't know what to change. Is there another version of XAMPP that will work for Windows 7? Do I have to install a freestanding versions of mySQL? Is it time to try WAMP? Can anyone help?

Thank you!

These threads all seem to be about the same problem. So maybe an earlier version of XAMPP will work?

So I uninstalled xampp 1.7.4, installed xampp 1.7.3 with mysql not running as a service, and was able to get it to run and show up as activated. But phpmyadmin still gives error #2002. Checked firewall settings and both mysqld and Apache HTTP server are allowed through.

I hope someone can please explain how to get this working again.

Hello Apache Friends (XAMPP),

I'm also having the same problem with installation of XAMPP 1.7.4 on Windows.

XAMPP 1.7.4 installation appears OK, but MYSQL is deactivated. If I reinstall XAMPP 1.7.3, MYSQL works fine.

I would appreciate some help getting an installation of XAMPP 1.7.4 working on Windows Vista (32-bit) SP2.

The installation is an upgrade from 1.7.3 to 1.7.4 proceeding with backing-up of the database and deinstalling of all XAMPP components and services.

The installation appeared to complete ok with no errors being reported. However, after installation there is a problem with mysql.

In a browser (Google Chrome), the XAMPP welcome screen displays ok, but the XAMPP Status screen reports that MySql is deactivated. Here is the XAMPP Status screen:



Consequently phpmyadmin displays an error screen. Here is a picture of the phpmyadmin error:



Here is a screenshot of my XAMPP Control Panel v3.0.2:



Here is a screenshot of the Netstat panel which shows mysql on port 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1. Mysql is not present on 127.0.0.1:



Many thanks in advance for anyone who can suggest a fix.

You can tell it to listen on 127.0.0.1 but I don't think it is set by default. To do that you would open xampp/mysql/bin/my.ini (or my.cnf whichever you have), go under the [mysqld] section, add:

Code: Select all

bind-address="127.0.0.1"

on a new line, save, and restart MySQL.
