Hi,
Would someone be able to help me fix my mistake.
These are the steps I performed on my Windows 7 computer.
1. I downloaded and installed these files (per an older YouTube video).
httpd-2.4.10-win32-VC11.zip
php-5.5.15-Win32-VC11-x86.zip
mysql-installer-web-community-5.6.19.0.msi
phpMyAdmin-4.2.6-all-languages
At this point, I think everything was working but I may have had an issue with phpMyAdmin.
2. This is where I REALLY messed up.
I downloaded and installed:
xampp-win32-1.8.3-4-VC11-installer.exe
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I get this error when I start the XAMPP Control Panel
