Hi, I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I have a brand new PC, Windows 10, xampp-windows-x64-8.2.12-0-VS16.
Apache + MySQL running, TG app running, creating app folder, however it doesn't create database but only has the loading-gif spinning.
Had all running as administrator. I'm missing something and I feel stupid. It use to work flawlessly on my old computer.
TG doesn't create db

Hi Laurant,
No need to feel silly here, all questions are welcome.
Just so I understand your setup a bit better. You have a new computer, with a fresh install of Windows 10. You have gone to https://www.apachefriends.org/ and downloaded 'xampp-windows-x64-8.2.12-0-VS16-installer.exe' and have started 'Xampp control panel' with administrator rights (right-click on the icon - 'run as administrator'. The Panel has Apache (ports 80, 443) and MySQL (port 3306) running with both highlighted green. You start up the 'Desktop app v1.0.005', click 'Okay' and then click 'Create New App'. What did you name the app? (do not include hyphens in the name), does the database connection details look ok when you click the white window (user and password ok?), You choose an app location (to htdocs, eg. C:\xampp\htdocs). Is this where your PC hangs, with the 'Trongate' spinny gif?
Does phpMyAdmin load OK with the user you entered in the above database connections and have all the right privileges to create/ read and write in MariaDB? Can you create/ edit and delete databases with that user in PHPMyAdmin? Can you check if your current Windows login name has privileges to the Xampp folder on your computer? It's been a while since I have used Windows 10, but think it's the same as Windows 11 - right-click the Xampp folder and select 'Properties' > then 'Security' tab > ensure 'Authenticated Users' have read/ write access. You could also add your user name here and give 'Full Control' (a bit tricky if you haven't done this before - usually you don't have to).
