linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm rather new to PHP and xampp. I have a computer that has installed MySQL server and MySQL workbench as I was working with Java and NetBeans. Now I want to use my computer for developing PHP and other web stuff too. I installed xampp successfully. But when I'm trying to access phpMyAdmin, it gives me an error saying mysql server rejected its connection Actually I tried stopping my current MySQL service and installing it again. However xampp have a its own mysql server in its installation path too. I tried configuring config.inc.php to use my existing installation of MySQL which is (HowTos)

Cannot connect to mysql 39 weeks 2 days ago

Recently I have moved the data folder of MySql to the other folder as describe in the my.ini following:

[mysqld] port= 3306 socket= "D:/xampp/mysql/mysql.sock" basedir="D:/xampp/mysql" tmpdir="D:/xampp/tmp" datadir="I:/Dropbox/mysql/data" pid_file="mysql.pid" skip-external-locking key_buffer = 16M max_allowed_packet = 1M table_cache = 64 sort_buffer_size = 512K net_buffer_length = 8K read_buff

Allow Your Applications To Access The XAMPP MySQL Server Directly If you want to have a full featured "LAMP" server with one step you can use "XAMPP", it's easy and fast but you can't access its MySQL database server using the regular "mysql" client (/usr/bin/mysql), you have to use its own client (/opt/lampp/bin/mysql) to do that.

Apache2 : Xampp is not running 32 weeks 6 days ago

I have apache2 and Xampp both installed in my server now my problem is

When i stop apache2 from /etc/init.d/apache2 stop

and tried restart xampp like /opt/lampp/lampp restart i am getting the response

Stopping XAMPP for Linux 1.7.3a... XAMPP: XAMPP-Apache is not running. XAMPP: XAMPP-MySQL is not running. XAMPP: XAMPP-ProFTPD is not running. XAMPP stopped. Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.7.3a...

I have installed XAMPP on my Mac. I know that XAMPP is tuned for very slow desktop and as I have almost 3 million records which I need to join. I have to change something. My tables are MyISAM. As everybody suggests I should have a look at key_buffer_size. However, I'm not sure if my configuration is correct.

XAMPP mysql error? 39 weeks 3 days ago

I face this problem :

root@aadel-pc:/home/osama# /opt/lampp/lampp startmysql XAMPP: Another MySQL daemon is already running.

I've tried to install phpmyadmin, mysql and apache2 manually before I've install XAMPP, but I've already removed them now.

I don't know how to shut this "other MySQL daemon" ?!

I'm new user of ubuntu 11.10 .

Before asking this question :

i have gone through this link How do I allow remote access to mysql using xampp?

But i couldnt make it up !!!

i have installed xampp using xamppinstaller.exe and its version is 3.1.0.

i am heidisql Gui for database managament

i tried the same by changing the # bind-address from "127.0.0.1" to my system ip address as # bind-address to "192.168.1.69"

After changi

When I try to start XAMPP with sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start command it gives me a message like this.

Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.7.7... XAMPP: Another web server daemon with SSL is already running. XAMPP: Starting MySQL... XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL! XAMPP: XAMPP-ProFTPD is already running. XAMPP for Linux started.

What is this and how can I find what was this another web server daemon with SSL.

I think yum is having problems installing MySQL 5.1 because there is already a pre-existing MySQL 5.5 installation.

I wanted to cleanly remove MySQL 5.5 (I had problems with 5.5 with PHP and Python).
