So I still don't have LAMP (In my case XAMPP, hoping to get it working once, and never have to deal with it after rebuilds etc) running on my dev box. Oh I've tried to get it going heh. After having issues doing a standard nix LAMP setup (usually this goes smoothly - although I've destroyed my OS - mint - before, installing Apache I think it was) I decided to see if I could do a totally portable LAMP on nix. In the past I've used XAMPP on Windows boxes and it worked great. So I grabbed the Linux version of it.
PHP is working great. So far the only issue I'm having is with MYSQL. I'll start the service, even test it by connecting (Or creating) a DB from the terminal. But if I query the state of the LAMP services, it's not running. And in the browser it behaves as though it isn't running.
Maybe I have a MYSQL service - system-wide - that is running, but the XAMPP version is not. Which would make sense since I can connect to MYSQL, view the DBs etc, yet it shows as not running both in the XAMPP status check and in the browser.
If this is the case I'm not sure why the XAMPP start mysql command would start a MYSQL service outside of XAMPP, since it is supposed to be portable. I have work to do.
