Feb142008XAMPP Madness!!!!

If you’re running Windows, and have set up XAMPP to complete the PHP tutorials for the Dreamweaver CS3 or Dreamweaver 8 Missing Manuals you may be encountering an error with MySQL (if none of this applies to you, then you can skip this post.)

With the latest XAMPP (maybe some earlier versions too) some people are getting error messages (about every 10 seconds) popping up on their screens. The message reads “access violation at address 10002593 in module ‘LIBMYSQL.dll’ read at address 00000000.”

This error has to do with the a program called WinMySQLadmin. To get rid of those annoying error messages you need to:

1. Choose Start > All Programs > Startup > WinMySQLadmin
2. Click on the my.ini Setup tab in the WinMySQLadmin window. This can be tricky because the darn error message windows keep popping up on top the WinMySQLadmin window.
3. In the my.ini Setup tab, there’s a big text box and at the bottom, you’ll see
   user=root
   password=password
4. Delete the second ‘password’ so that those two lines look like this:
   user=root
   password=
5. Click the ‘Save Modification’ button in the left area of the window, and confirm that you want to save your changes.
6. The error messages should stop now. Close all the open error message windows and breath a sigh of relief.

Thanks to the Php bugs blog for this answer.
