Here is what the control panel looks like
But the output over here seems like it's working??
So far I've tried a whole bunch of terminal commands to force it to start and none of them have worked so far. Then I tried reinstalling but the same problem. I tried changing the port but that didn't work either.
When I run php files in the htdocs folder it works fine though, but phpMyAdmin doesn't connect.
This is error I get when trying to connect to phpMyAdmin
Having just spent hours on this problem, the following answer helped me:
"If the problem is not a busy port you can also try the following: select "show debug information" in the XAMPP config panel. you will find this option in config panel enable this option and click save it will display the files that are being executed, like when starting Apache you'll be shown something like "Executing "c:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe". If you run the same command in cmd prompt it will clearly display the error with file name and line number.
All you need to do is to find the respective file dig in the code and resolve it.Your problem will be [may be] solved."

I am currently following a tutorial on lynda.com which is explaining how to set up php and my sql using apache.
I now have a major issue that i can not seem to get around. Somewhere in the process of copying the tutorial i have entered something wrong and it wont let me type any normal commands.
When i load up terminal this appears:
Last login: Sat Sep 16 00:20:47 on ttys000
-bash: export: `/usr/local/mysql/bin: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin': not a valid identifier
-bash: touch: No such file or directory
Tom$
Previously i was entering commands like this:
Tom$ sudo apachectl configtest
Tom$ sudo nano httpd.conf
Everything worked and seemed fine, but i now appear to be stuck in this bash thing that i don't quite understand and each time i type anything it says "no such file or directory". Is there anyway i can get this back to normal? I have tried a number of things but nothing seems to work.
I hope this has been clear and any help this this topic would be much appreciated!
First my english might be bad so if you understand what I mean but the sentence is not correct feel free to edit my post, and if you don't understand I'll try my best to explain better.
I installed XAMMP on my MyBook Air version 10.11.5. I can launch the application but in "Manage servers" when I press the "Start all" button all the status switched from "Stopped" to "Starting" and then return to "Stopped" after about 20 seconds. Here is the application log :
Starting MySQL Database...
Starting Apache Web Server...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
Starting ProFTPD...
Checking syntax of configuration file
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/proftpd/scripts/ctl.sh : proftpd started
Two things here : the MySQL database doesn't send anything in return and it seem that for the log the servers are running. So maybe it was only a display problem on the "Manage servers" tab so I tried to go to the adress http://localhost but nothing.
After a lot of research and try the only topic who gives me what I want is this one : MySQL Database won't start in XAMPP Manager-osx
The command sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server startworks perfectly. So now I can start the MySQL server only. The I noticed something, here is the terminal log :
MacBook-Air:~ user$ sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server start
WARNING: Improper use of the sudo command could lead to data loss
or the deletion of important system files. Please double-check your
typing when using sudo. Type "man sudo" for more information.
To proceed, enter your password, or type Ctrl-C to abort.
Password:
Starting MySQL
. SUCCESS!
You can see I had to enter my session password. So my questions are simple :
Could the password be the problem for the XAMPP Manager ?
i.e. the manager try to launch the servers but encounter the password request and then failed to launch the servers.
If it's the case how can I give to XAMPP the access so the manager can launch on is own the servers without needed to use the terminal ?
Is there any command like the one below to launch also the PHP server if I can't fix the Manager problem ?
I promise I did research on this topic but I find nothing about this specific password (I was often redirected on starting session password...).
Thank you for reading and maybe for answering !
Yes because thats not the right way to start XAMPP.
You should do the following instead cd to your xampp application folder, there should be a executable file called xampp. The gui application is not that good, I've had various problems with it, I think the best thing to do is to start it via terminal.
The password is not the problem, its asking because it requires admin privileges to run it. Thats why you're using sudo.
Run the following command:
sudo ./xampp start
You can find the list of all xampp terminal commands by typing the following:
./xampp -h
For example you can start different 'modules' of the application separately e.g to start just apache.
sudo ./xampp startapache
I hope this helps.
Could it be something broken with the installer?
I had the same issue, but after downgrading to 7.0.5 everything works fine on El Capitan.
All of a sudden I am encountering this problem on my mac. I cant start my MySQL Database. I can only start my ProFTPD and Apache Web Server.
This is the application log:
Starting all servers...
Starting MySQL Database...
Starting Apache Web Server...
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started
Starting ProFTPD...
Checking syntax of configuration file
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/proftpd/scripts/ctl.sh : proftpd started
I have even did some research through stackoverflow. First i tried to end the process through my activity monitor by i couldnt find the keyword sql on the filter search area. The second method i tried was adding the unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
but that didnt even worked for me.
Can i know how to solve this problem. Helps would be really appreciated. Thank you
#1. Open XAMPP Installation Directory
#2. Open "etc" Folder
#3. Find "my.cnf" file and open it in any text editor
#4. Change Port from 3306 to 3307 (if you have installed skype or other apps)
#5. Add "innodb_force_recovery=1" under "myisam_sort_buffer_size=8M"
#6. Save "my.cnf" file
#7. Restart Mysql Server By Your Terminal by command:
"sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server start"
You Get A message "Starting MySQL SUCCESS! "
For me, Xampp Control panel was not launching, and in Stackoverflow some where it was mentioned to add Read / Write for every one on every file of xampp, when I did that. It allowed me to launch xampp control panel but mysql was not starting.
Later I debuged and found that /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/my.cnf should not be writeable by everyone, mysql will ignore my.cnf if it is for everyone. I changed the permission to read only for this file, and able to start mysql server
I just solve the answer by going to the activity monitor and search for sql under all process and terminate it. then i restart my mac and now my sql database is working great for me.
I Know this post was originally posted last year, but I just had the same problem and I found the solution for me. So here it is, just in case this can help somebody else.
I tried all the suggestions I found online, including trying to terminate MySQL on the activity monitor, but then I realized that when you download/upgrade XAMPP - MySQL, the option to automatically start MySQLserver on Startup is ON. You need to turn it off. Here is what you do:
Go System Preferences and click on the Mysql icon, You should get this window:
Uncheck that option. You will be asked for your password. After you are done with that, restart your computer and the problem should be fixed.
I hope that help somebody who is as confused as I was. lol ✌🏼
Xampp Control Panel> Manage Server> Mysql Database > Configure > change the port from 3306 to 3307
At least it worked for me in mac.
For me using macOS Catalina, I had to delete this 2 files then quit and restart the manager-osx:
MyName-MacBook-Pro.local.err
tc.log
The folder path is this: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var
Note: the 2 files were automatically regenerated after I start and Apache and MySQL
If mysql is not starting in xampp, it might be a port conflict issue. Mysql run by default on port 3306. you need to check if another application is occupying that port. use following command to check app occupying a port
lsof -nP -i4TCP:3306
if you find an application occupying that port, stop the application and restart xampp. As an alternative, you can go to php.ini file or click configure in the dropdown and change the mysql port to 3307
I spent whole day trying to resolve this issue. Changing the port no from 3306 to 3307 worked for me. Simply open the configure module and change the port number. Hope it works for you.
In case this may help. I followed all the steps above still nothing worked for me. And I follow this article MySQL database won't start in xampp and it worked. what is says is:
Steps
Open terminal and type
sudo su
and then put in your password
Then type
ps aux | grep mysql
You will need to get the process id of mysql. There should be number near the top, something like 739 or 8827 (in my case I got 74689, just look after mysql or _mysql process id)
Kill the process using
kill -9 {process id}
this should look something like this: kill -9 739
Restart MySQL in manager-osx
If any of the above don’t work, This should work:
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server start
I tried the suggested solutions above however none worked for me. So I uninstalled XAMPP and then reinstalled it and so now MySQL server starts up ok.
I've gotten trouble around the error "Couldn't resolve host '...'".
I have also researched through many topics and couldn't find the workaround.
First time, same the code, I could do curl without no problem. But today it suddenly stopped working. Here were my attempts
Same the code in my localhost, curl worked fine.
In my server CentOs 6 (using Cpanel Whm), my structure of directories looks like following
public_html
-YiiWebsiteFolder
-curl_test.php
I could run curl to same URL in curl_test.php without the problem, it worked fine. It also worked even I put the curl_test.php inside the YiiWebsiteFolder, so problem wouldn't not be the permission.
But if I run same code to call curl through Yii (YiiWebsiteFolder), ran it in Yii controller and action, it would raise the error 'Couldn't resolve host ...'.
(my URL rewrite is very normal, my site URL looks like "mydomain.com/index.php/test/myaction" )
So I guessed the cause could be Yii, was not DNS problem like some help topics said.
http://forums.cpanel.net/f34/file_get_contents-couldnt-resolve-host-name-120065.html
Couldn't resolve host and DNS Resolution failed
Both Yii config main.php files of my local machine and my server are same.
Edited: I have found this guy who had same problem like me
cURL doesn't work when it's used in a PHP application and running > through a web browser
cURL doesn't work when it's used in a PHP application and running
through a web browser. However, that same PHP page with cURL, when run
via the terminal, does what it's supposed to do and fetches the
information that I want
But he has found it out the problem is the DAEMON array, but I don't use Apache DAEMON (even I don't sure what it is).
I have tried all of possible solutions such as restarting my network and my apache to change the order when they started, modify etc/resolv.conf / (add or remove 12.0.0.1 and try some public DNS)
service network stop
service network start
service network restart
/sbin/service httpd stop
/sbin/service httpd start
I've spent many hours to troubleshoot the problem but no succeed at all.
Any help is really appreciated.
This does not solve your specific problem but I thought I should post to say I had the same problem in that PHP cURL could not resolve any host name when the PHP script was run from a web browser but the same script run from the terminal command line worked fine (i.e. cURL resolved host names to return the expected response). In my case it was resolved with the following:
/sbin/service httpd stop
/sbin/service httpd start
I just reinstalled Mac Os X 10.6.2 and had to reinstall/update my MySQL server.
I run phpMyAdmin inside my localhost and I used to be able to login without a hitch.
Since the updated (latest version MySQL 5.1.45 & PMA 3.3.1) versions I only get the following error when trying to login with phpMyAdmin:
phpMyAdmin - Error
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP
and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
The only thing I noticed is that mcrypt cannot be loaded (this has always been the case, no idea what to do to install this..) but this has never been a problem before.
If anyone know what to do here that would be really appreciated.
Thanks for reading,
Jannis
PS: The MySQL server itself is running and I am able to login with as root user via the MySQL Administrator.app
Well setting log_errors to on would bring error messages to the web-server's error_log. To do so you can use an .htaccess file placed in your web root with
php_value log_errors = 1
in it. It can be not worked but there is some other ways too. You can edit your php.ini for example and restart your server after it.
Without error message it's hard to guess what is really happened. there can be something wrong with session save path or other settings
This happened to me when I changed my password from within PHPMyAdmin. The solution was simple. Clear the browser cache and try to login again. You should be good to go.
Old thread I know, but I've been struggling all day with this.
I'm on MacOSX Lion. Unfortunately, I've been struggling with the same issue all day. In my case however, I was not getting an errors in the php error_log. So I was clueless as to what was happening. I finally found a setting in phpMyAdmin's config.inc.php and used it like so:
$cfg['Error_Handler']['display'] = true;
After this I was able to see in the browser itself what the problem was with permissions on the folder specified in session.save_path (./tmp which is a symlink to /private/tmp on mac).
However, I'd like to add the setting a 777 to the session.save_path folder may not be the right thing to do. I have done the following which seems safer:
owner: root (default)
group: _www (sudo chgrp _www /private/tmp)
Then allow the group to read, write and execute using:
sudo chmod g+rwx /private/tmp
Prevent others from reading, writing or executing in this folder:
sudo chmod o-rwx /private/tmp
I too upgraded to 10.6, actually I got a new mac and migrated my system over, then I installed phpmyadmin 3.4.2 and was getting messages about not being able to login as well as message about needing mcrypt. I re-installed PHP, now I'm running PHP Version 5.3.6.
I had Navicat on my system and was able to log into mysql database without issue. I tried resetting my mysql password, but that would not take. Not sure why. I had no valuable data so I re-installed MySQL, now I'm running MYSQL 5.5.13.
Still I could not login with phpMyAdmin - however thanks to new MySQL I was no longer seeing message about needing encyption, but I was getting a #1045 error on phpmyadmin. I guess it was telling me I had wrong password. Actually I had never set a password! I guess phpMyAdmin didn't like that as it would not allow me to login without a pw. (as you can see from this post I am not well versed in linux/unix, but I am one persistent fellow! this took me three nights.)
I entered these in Terminal to set a password, then phpmyadmin worked!
1) Need to first stop the MYSQL server, enter this in Terminal, then hit enter:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop
2) Then set a password or new password. Needless to say replace 'whatever…" with your password of choice by entering this line in Terminal, and hit enter.
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('whateverfornew') WHERE User='root';
3) Now flush the privileges by entering this line in Terminal, and hit enter:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
4) Now restart MySQL by entering this line in Terminal, and hit enter:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
5) Now login to your phpmyadmin with username "root" and your new password.
Yep, I know this is rudimentary and I have no idea if I am following best practices but for those of us who are new to Mac / Unix and want to get phpmyadmin, mysql etc running this worked for me. Personally I found a lot of forums but most already assume that reader is comfortable using terminal and Unix commands…which I am not - I just wanted a working development zone.
