please help me with this, i recently uninstalled appserv and installed wampserver 2.1 on windows xp sp3. the icon is orange and i checked the services and found that wampmysqld is not started. when i click start it gives the error (Could not start the wampmysqld service on Local Computer. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.)
i uninstalled and cleaned the folders and registry items and re-installed but the problem is still there.
i checked port 3306 (run > cmd > netstat -a -n) but didn't find it listed there so i think this means its free?
i also want to mention that when i had appserv the username and password were different than "root" and no password, i was using a password and using a different username. so i don't know if this can be the issue. i opened my.ini and uncommented the password line and put the old pass and restarted wamp but still didn't work, and i didn't know how to change "root" to the old username. i don't know if the old username and password are still applied or they're gone when i uninstalled appserv..
pls help!
