Hey there,
A while ago i used Xampp on my RedHat box, was working fine.
Now i installed Gentoo, its working pretty well, appart for Xampp
What happens :
1) i follow installation (well its simple, just need to download and unzip in /opt)
2) i start /opt/lampp/lampp start
3) i go to http://localhost/
It gives me XAMPP page as intended. Now i try to go to phpmyadmin, result :
Error :
MySQL said:
#2002 : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
So i go back to Xampp status, it says MySQL database DEACTIVATED.
I dont understand this, since MySQL started ! I have it running in the process.
I did several installations, tries, attempts, and still i get an error. Tried to configure php.ini or my.cnf and more... still would not work.
SOOOooooo i did a new install, exactely like on this website, and retried.
Failure.
I start /opt/lampp/lampp security
to check it out.
And it says that MySQL has a passwort, fine!
I never gave passwort to MySQL... And everytime i install XAMPP it says MySQL has a passwort. Any clue?.
Thanks,
Wampas
