Mysql – Wamp Server icon is red

There are possible solutions here: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?35,64808,254785#msg-254785 and here: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?35,23138,254786#msg-254786

All of these are config settings. In my case I have two computers with everything in XAMPP synced. On the other computer phpMyAdmin did start normally. So the problem in my case seemed to be with the specific computer, not the config files. Stopping firewall didn't help.

Finally, more or less by accident, I bumped into the file:

...path_to_XAMPP\XAMPP...\mysql\bin\mysqld-debug.exe

Doubleclicking that file miraculously gave me back PhpMyAdmin. Posted here in case anyone might be helped by this too.

I'm almost 100% sure this is the FBML settings, check both of these settings for the app are not set to FBML - unless you can give us the App ID to check, nobody can give an absolutely 100% sure answer

1) On the 'advanced' tab, the setting for 'canvas mode' - this will not appear for apps created after March 2011

2) There was a setting for 'Page Tab iframe' in the 'Migrations' setting of the Advanced Tab. This controls whether or not FBML is used with the page tabs of your app - if set to disabled, the app is still using FBML for its page tabs

You can also check second setting via the API, for my example app there, the canvas setting can be retrieved via a call to /APPLICATION_ID/?fields=migrations&access_token=APP_ACCESS_TOKEN

The return value is a structure of the migrations the app can set and their values:

{
  "migrations": {
    "secure_stream_urls": false, 
    "expiring_offline_access_tokens": false, 
    "december_rollup": false, 
    "page_tab_iframe": false, 
    //[ SNIPPED OTHER MIGRATIONS ]
  }, 
  "id": " // SNIPPED APP ID", 
  "type": "application"
}
