How do you reset port 3306 so theres not data on it? Also make shure that its only mysql thats running via it nothing else?

how the fuck do you "reset" a stream? do you wash out your network cables so there's no ones or zeros in them, too?

In the screen shot  i posted you can see that apache and mysql is not running. When i click start nothing happens. In the staus box it says busy... then running (but its not)

When i try to start mysql it starts then stops.

In the mysql control panel it looks like this:

Got it! Thanks guys!

What happened was i was testing XAMP lite and ran MySql and apache from there and it block the other XAMP.

is it better to run things as a service or normal?

A service would be preferable if it's always on.

Ok. I cant find how to turn safe mode on (php) anyone know were. I am using XAMMP for windows. php5+++

Thanks,

What are you opening it with?

If it's with your web browser, duh, it treats it as a text file. Access files through your Apache install if you want them executed.

If it's through apache already, you haven't got Apache configured to parse PHP files. Figure that one out yourself.

And if it's in Notepad, it's a file made on Linux or MacOS, which handle linebreaks in different ways. Try opening it with Wordpad or a different editor.

If i go to

ftp://localhost/home/home/index.php

i get the junk

if i go to

http://localhost/home/home/index.php

i get a 404

Well, yeah, your FTP server doesn't process PHP, and that's not what it's meant to do, either. You also might want to password-protect FTP access.
As for HTTP, check if your server is running and if the web pages to be served are in the DocumentRoot. If you don't know what that means, look it up, we're not here to do everything for you.

FTP is protected.
Server running.
It is saved in the document root.

All i want to know is were do i upload a file to?

You should first read and search the forums for such questions. If you don't know the answer to those, I don't think you're ready to work out a webserver. You should go easy first, read the basics and then start out!

Locate on the php installation folder (most probably inside XAMP folder) a file called "httpd.conf" (obviously without the quotes), and open it with notepad or something. There should be something saying DocumentRoot, that's the folder apache will be serving files.

Also, for PHP in safe mode, go to your PHP installation folder (also probably inside XAMP folder), there should be a file called "php.ini". There must be a line saying SAFEMODE=    if you open this file with notepad, CTRL + F and type SAFE and search for it. The only thing you need to do is change it to ON.
