for anyone installing xampp 1.7.7 on win 7 64

[L33R]

I had a problem with xampp 1.7.4 not working properly on windows 7 64 bit. I was advised
to go with xampp 1.7.7. After install I couldnt access phpMyAdmin . I was getting this error:

#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

to solve this error and for anyone else that this happens to .

navigate to your my.ini file located: C:/xampp/mysql/bin/

and uncomment the following line:

#bind-address="127.0.0.1"

then restart windows or apache and that should fix it .
