Hi all,
First post here, so hi to you all! May I ask you to please excuse some probably really dumb questions I may ask? Not at all competent with anything to do with servers.
I seem to be having a problem with the XAMPP control panel. Well, not the panel itself, but the services that 'should' be running, I think............
Here is a copy of what the panel is showing me.
20:44:57 [main] Initializing Control Panel
20:44:57 [main] Windows Version: Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
20:44:57 [main] XAMPP Version: 1.8.0
20:44:57 [main] Control Panel Version: 3.0.12 [ Compiled: June 24th 2012 ]
20:44:57 [main] Running with Administrator rights - good!
20:44:57 [main] XAMPP Installation Directory: "c:\xampp\"
20:44:57 [main] Initializing Modules
20:44:57 [apache] XAMPP Apache Service is already running on port 80
20:44:57 [apache] XAMPP Apache Service is already running on port 443
20:44:57 [mysql] MySQL Service Detected With Wrong Path
20:44:57 [mysql] Uninstall the service manually first
20:44:57 [filezilla] XAMPP FileZilla FTP Server Service is already running on port 21
20:44:57 [filezilla] XAMPP FileZilla FTP Server Service is already running on port 14147
20:44:57 [main] Starting Check-Timer
20:44:57 [main] Control Panel Ready
So, as you can see, MySQL is not running. Can somebody please point me in the right direction here? I have no idea what to do. The only interaction I have had with MySQL is connecting to it on the server where my charities website is hosted and that is pretty damn easy. I can use MySQL when it comes to the tables and such, but have no idea how to get it running or how to configure it!
I would really appreciate all the help that I can get! Knowledge gained can only help me, so I am most likely going to be asking some really stupid questions until I get up and running. And that can take a while. The old grey matter is not what it used to be 20 odd years ago!!
