max1227 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I already have MySQL on my Windows 7 PC. I installed XAMPP (unchecked MySQL) and it did not recognize my prior MySQL install. Also, phpmyadmin would not open. Do i have to uninstall MySQL and let XAMPP install it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hmmm... I've not been in this situation before but I imagine you have three options: - Uninstall MySQL and XAMPP and then reinstall XAMPP - Try to configure XAMPP to use your existing MySQL install (I have no idea what that would entail) - Just install Apache separately and forgo XAMPP I'm not sure which is best for you, it would depend in part upon how the current MySQL install was used and whether you want the easy solution or the "interesting" one!
