I a mafraid that I can't even get beyond installing Apache2Triad to set up a localhost on my PC. I am on Win XP Pro SP2.

neart the end of the install I get this in a window titled C:\apache2triad\perl\bin\perl.exe

C:\apache2triad/mysql/bin/mysqladmin.exe: connect to server at 'localhost' faile
d
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'
Password for Mysql not changed !!
Automatically using MD5 format.
Adding password for user root

We were unable to set the password 1 times ,
Report this to apache2triad.net
(Do not post screenshots , copy/paste the text intead) Press enter to exit

I press any key and it completes the setup.

Once it has all installed, I can't seem to log into anything mysqladmin, phpmyadmin or the apacheCP. I can see the directory in a browser and that's it.

I have posted on the A2T forum but it seems less active than here.

Thanks

Martin

Try http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html it's a piece of cake.

I remember how frustrating it can be to get a server up and running... I have had good success with WAMP using windows XP home and pro.

I am afraid I have tried XAMP and couldn't get that going either. I'll give the other one a shove. It's a pity about apache2triad because I got further with that than the other one.

is the mysql server running? unfamiliar with apache2triad, but some installation packagess require that you start the web and/or db server(s) manually... there could also be a port conflict if the port in question (3306) is in use by another service (prior installation?).
