i just installed xampp on my pc windows 7 64bit,it seems everything was successfully installed but when i click on phpMyAdmin i get an error like this on the image below
Check to see if MySQL is started and not just Apache/PHP.
Try disabling your firewall. If that works, look into properly creating a firewall rule for it.
In the future, these questions would be better posed in other venues (consider serverfault.com or webmasters.stackexchange.com)
Open the command line and type in:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the password (if no password set, leave off -p switch).
If you can get in, at least you know MySQL is running properly. So the fault is not there.
Check phpmyadmin's config.inc.php file. It could have wrong login mechanism set, the wrong username/password set, or is using a port number other than 3306 (default for MySQL).
Also consider trying some of the other wamp packages such as : WampServer, UniformServer, ZWamp, WampDeveloper (commercial)...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_WAMPs
You might have better luck there. Just make sure to uninstall, delete, and reboot first.

I've tried many methods but it could not work. Apache is working fine but MySQL service is not able to start. Wamp icon is orange and showing only 1 of 3 services running.
I have tried all points mentioned in MySQL service not starting on WAMP?
After so much exploring, it is rectified now. The my.ini file inside the Windows folder was the real problem. It is conflicting with the WAMP mysql my.ini. Now it is working fine after deleting that file from the Windows folder.
after lots of struggling, I found the solution in this answer
for me, the reason for this issue was the wrong config data was cached for mysql so did this:
I tried going to: C:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.24\data and deleted the
following:
auto.cnf, xxxxxxxxx.err, xxxxxxxxx.pid, ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1
But I left the ibdata1 alone as it references all local databases.(dont delete that at all!) I
then restarted wamp and it worked like a charm.
Delete the my.ini file inside the folder work
Go to cmd and run 'netstat /a' to get a list of all the ports running.
Check to see if TCP 0.0.0.0:3006 is on the list. On mine, it was not and 0.0.0.0:3008 was on the list instead.
To verify the database is in fact running:
Change directory to the folder holding the mysql version I expected to be running. Then I attempted to login with command line to the mysql database I instantiated with phpMyAdmin... using 'mysql -u yourloginId -p yourDataBaseName'
Hit enter and then enter your pass word. If you did not setup a password... skip the '-p'.
If you database is running you'll get a bunch of info related to it and changes the prompt to 'mysql'.... type in 'quit' and hit enter to exit out. Then you are done with cmd.
Since the database is running and WAMP is using ports in the 3000 range, then I assumed that 3008 is the correct port. Go to the WAMP icon click on it... go to php then php.ini and edit it. Do a find on 3006... and you will likely find it as mysql port... change it to the port actually running mysql... for me it was 3008. Save it and restart WAMP... Issue should be resolved.
going to C:\wamp64\bin\mysql*yourmysqlversion* you should find my.ini
After deleting that file you should be fine. Be sure to use your Wamp testing tools in wamp settings to test the ports for Mysql/Maria DB and Apache. Microsoft IIS is a common culprit for not making all services run.
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.
Setting. I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 on a custom machine with an existing PHP / Apache / Sqlite setup. I recently installed MySql to fiddle around with Laravel a bit. It was working perfectly until I wasn't paying attention and did something incredibly stupid. I intended to export all of the user's privileges to a new database, was in a hurry, and instead clicked the button to dump all users. So, yeah. Complete dumped every user in MySql, including root. Obviously I was unable to log back in with PhpMyAdmin, because no root user. Since this was just a testing install I went ahead and purged MySql and re-installed, thinking it would just go through the install process again. NOPE. I've uninstalled / reinstalled using the terminal, synatpic, and Ubuntu Software Center. In each case the install of MySql client server just breezes through without even asking for a root user. I can't even check status to see if the server is running without getting an unauthorized error. I would really like to get this fixed, but without uninstalling apache2 and php. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
After yet another purge / install cycle I have mysql mostly working again. I can log in as root from the command line, and I am able to log in via PhpMyAdmin, for the most part. Unfortunately, while I seem to still have all of the necessary PhpMyAdmin functionality the page itself throws several iterations of the following error:
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
I've researched this error and none of the conditions that are said to cause it exist in my system.
First try this.
mysql -u root -p password
if first method does not work then use following method to reset your MySQL password.
Check your version of the MySQL database.
apt-cache policy mysql-server
Start configuration setting of the MySQL database.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-** . **
"replace ** . ** with your MySQL database version"
It will open a configuration prompt where you will can change password.
If both of the above methods fails then use this method as last resort.
Stop your MySQL database server
sudo /etc/init.d/mysql stop
Start demon process without grant table.
sudo /usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking
Start MySQL and flush the privilige.
mysql -u root
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Now set the password for the root user.
USE mysql
UPDATE user SET Password = PASSWORD('newpwd')
WHERE Host = 'localhost' AND User = 'root';
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 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.
