I am installing the 4.1.2 XAMPP package on Windows 8. I have started Apache and MySQL in the XAMPP control panel and attempted to go to the following address: http://localhost/openemr/interface/login/login_frame.php?site=default. The text on this page reads: “Check that mysqld is running.” Both Apache and MySQL say they are active on the icons in the lower right hand corner of my screen. What is my next step?

Oh i figured it out. In case anyone has this problem, I just got rid of the previously existing version of mySQL that I have on the computer. I suppose you could also turn it off but I have no use for it outside of this application.
