XAMPP phpMyAdmin Session Error

Question

I had two XAMPP installed in my computer. XAMPP1 was in C:\\XAMPP and XAMPP2 is in D:\\XAMPP. Both were working fine. I needed to delete XAMPP1 (c:\\xampp) and deleted. After that My XAMPP2 PHPMyAdmin Stopped Working. It displays error message something like this:

It is searching SESSION DATA in C:\\XAMPP\\TMP. So I created empty folder C:\\XAMPP\\TMP

After that it displays error message like this:

This means If I Install another xampp in C: drive it will work. But I don't want to install another xampp in C: drive. Is there any solution to this problem?

Answer 1

Looks like the installation in D:\\XAMPP is not properly configured.

• Adjust session.save_path in your php.ini . You most likely don't want the session data in the old Xampp directory.
• Also check that extension_dir in your php.ini matches the correct path to your php extensions. This could be the reason that the mysqli extension is not loaded, if it's pointing to a different path.
• Restart Apache and try again
• Check your log files for errors, eg failed extension loading etc.
• If the error about the missing mysqli extension persists, make sure it is not commented out in your php.ini

Not sure, if remote debugging is very effective here. Search the error message and have a look for example here: phpMyAdmin - #1932 Table doesn't exist (collation in use) after reinstalling
