I've installed the latest version of xampp and it looks great.
However, the control panel doesn't seem to recognise when MySQL is running. In fact, it says
Xampp Control Panel Version 2.1 says
MySQL service not started [-1]
Busy …
This is what the Xampp Control Panel gives overall …
Apache State 0 Service 1 Start 0 thread 0 Op 0
Mysql State 0 Service 1 Start 0 thread 0 Op 0
ftp State 0 Service 1 Start 0 thread 0 Op 0
mercury State 0 Service 0 Start 0 thread 0 Op 0
Is there a way, please, to give the control panel control of MySQL?
