mySQL crashing

[felgall]

I recently upgraded my copy of XAMPP to the latest version and ever since then whenever I start to use phpmyadmin it crashes mySQL very soon afterwards.

What have I forgotten to update when I upgraded XAMMP?

After having made backups of all sites, code and databases on the old XAMP did you then completly remove the old version before installing the new version - maybe there is a bit of the old version lurking around causing trouble for the new version

What errors are being reported by either PHP, MySQL or Apache whenever MySQL is crashing?

[felgall]

The only one of those logs showing anything when mySQL crashes is the PHP log.

The exact message is different each time but each starts with:

PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\xampp\phpMyAdmin\libraries\....

where the exact file and line is different each time.

Just downloaded and installed a newer version of phpmyadmin - perhaps that might make a difference.

What versions of PHP and MySQL are you running?
