Hi everyone.
I've just reinstalled Portable Apps after over a year away since I realise that is so much could have been doing with it and I've just been missing out.
I've got the basics - Firefox, GIMP, Filezilla, Komposer and 7-Zip.
But what I really need is XAMPP so I can do some work on my php/mySQL website (and perhaps learn AXAJ at the same time).
Details:
XAMPP is installed on my portable HD at E:\PortableApps\xampp
I can get the services running but the index.php in htdocs isn't recognised for double-clicking and opening it from within Firefox gives the error message. I'm getting this when I restart XAMPP through Portable Apps:
MySQL stop ...
Apache killed ...
pv: No matching processes found
Attention: Cannot delete the httpd.pid!
mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)'
Check that mysqld is running on localhost and that the port is 3306.
You can check this by doing 'telnet localhost 3306'
Apache pid delete ... SHUTDOWN COMPLETE!
Please wait [Bitte warten] ...
### APACHE and MySQL is STARTING now! ###
[Do not close this window while XAMPP is running]
What am I doing wrong? Have I installed it in the wrong place?
Thanks for your help.
