To get MySQL server to work in XAMPP, follow these steps:
- Start XAMPP Control Panel and ensure that Apache and MySQL are both running.
- Open a web browser and type "http://localhost/phpmyadmin" in the address bar. This will open the phpMyAdmin tool.
- In phpMyAdmin, click on the "Databases" tab and create a new database by entering a name and clicking on the "Create" button.
- You can now start creating tables and managing your database using phpMyAdmin.
If you encounter any issues with MySQL server, you can check the error logs in XAMPP to troubleshoot the problem. You can find the error logs in the XAMPP Control Panel by clicking on the "Logs" button and selecting the appropriate log file for MySQL.
