scrubbicus Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hey everyone. So I installed XAMPP a few weeks ago and it was working all good and find until a few days ago when MySQL stopped working and phpMyAdmin was giving me a lot of errors everytime my computer booted up. I uninstalled XAMPP completely and reinstalled it and it's still not working. I set my firewall to allow everything and it's still not working, any suggestions? This week I started messing around with MySQL for the first time as well as changed the password to it before that.

MadTechie Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I think the best advice i can give is to suggest you post in the correct section! when you say stopped working.. what do you mean.. the service fails to load?, you can loggin? any errors ? try resetting your MySQL password.. http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/04/23/reset-the-root-password-of-mysql-server/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149160-xampp-mysql-not-working/#findComment-783443 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrubbicus Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Oh sorry about the section. Apache isn't working now that I reinstalled it. It just won't load at all.

MadTechie Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 did you uninstall and remove/backup the files/folders? i use WAMP server 2 on my dev PC so this is mainly guess work but try this #1 quit xamp (from the system try) #2 run (stop services) \xampp\xampp_stop.exe \xampp\apache_stop.bat \xampp\mysql_stop.bat \xampp\filezilla_stop.bat #3 run (remove services) \xampp\apache\apache_uninstallservice.bat \xampp\mysql\mysql_uninstallservice.bat \xampp\filezilla_setup.bat (will probably prompt you) #4 Remove files (well for this we're rename) rename \xampp to \xampp.old if you get a error here try rebooting then try renaming again once thats done.. try a reinstall Hope that helps Heres some useful info http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#524 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149160-xampp-mysql-not-working/#findComment-783486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardRotterdam Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Just another thing to add. If you do a clean installation of xampp on windows. Get an earlier version then 1.7.0 if thats the last version. The 1.7.0 is pretty buggy and doesn't work with pdo Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149160-xampp-mysql-not-working/#findComment-784717 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I wanted to add something to this a few years later. I just had the same problems with my Xampp and I googled for answers and this was the first link I saw. I unistalled and reinstalled my Xammp but, I couldn't get it to work again until I typed in localhost/ with the backslash included. Typing in localhost/ activated the Xampp again. You should be able to use it again afterr typing that. You might be able to type in localhost/ in your browser to bring up the xampp even if you didn't uninstalled and reinstalled it. It could be a time saver for anybody to try and get the xammp up and working first and then get the phpmyadmin working. I hope this helps.
