Hello everyone,
I have been trying to install EasyPHP 3.1 on my Windows 7 RTM laptop, but I have been encountering a series of problems with the MySQL aspect. It started out with the MySQL server being unable to start. I got the error 'MySQL: Unexpected end of MySQL!'. The EasyPHP FAQ says that you get this error when you have a previous installation of MySQL remaining. However, I am quite sure that I have never installed MySQL before today. When I used the EasyPHP menu to try to open the MySQL error log I also got an error that 'the file could not be found'.
I finally solved these errors by opening EasyPHP's folder properties and giving Full Control permissions to Users. I did this in an attempt to make MySQL write its error log, but it seemed to solve the bigger problem as well: I can now start and restart the MySQL service without errors. Both the Apache and the MySQL processes are now also running happily in the Windows Task Manager.
However, another problem has now surfaced. When I go to the Administration page of my EasyPHP installation and I click the MySQL Manager button I get a blank page (at html://127.0.0.1/home/mysql/). Inspecting the source I can see some HTML tags, but the body is completely empty. Also, when I use the EasyPHP menu to open the PhpMyAdmin configuration, I get a 404 error (at html://127.0.0.1/mysql/). Apache tells me that 'The requested URL could not be found on this server'. So apparently there is still something wrong with my MySQL and/or PhpMyAdmin. I'm hoping that someone here as any insights?
