Hello,
I'm totally new to Apache and XAMMP. I'd like to create a working local environment to create Wordpress sites before doing so on my host account. I found out about XAMPP and have attepted a installation, but I am unable to get mySQL to run. I chose Apache to run as a service, but nothing else. I'm running WinXP SP3 and have opened up ports on hardware and software firewalls. Attached is my localhost file as well as the XAMPP Control Panel Application screenshot.
Don't see file attachment options ... here is the PDF of the two screenshots mentioned above: http://woodcycl.com/images/xammp%20screenshots%201.pdf
By the way, I'm not a Linux guy unfortunately.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank much,
Brian
