gizmola Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 For the all in one packages, they include everything. I know you have posted other threads about this. You can either install apache/php/mysql seperately and configure them to work together or you can do an all in one install. You can't start mixing the two. Make sure you have no apache, php or mysql installed. It would probably be a good idea at this point to run a registry cleaner. A great free one is ccleaner. Run that in registry fix mode and let it clean out any crap you have accumulated. REBOOT. Then try installing xamp : http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmola Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I just told you what to do. If you're not going to follow my instructions you're on your own. I never said to just go install easyphp again, and you were also told not to install mysql seperately since easyphp comes with mysql bundled.
