Thanks for the quick response. It is still unexplained as to why it worked in the previous version of UniServer, and not this updated release. I think something in the code is structured incorrectly when I put in the "cookie" authentication method. Not being a programmer I'm extremely challenged with it. Hope the developers of UniServer take a look at this. Thanks again for your time. PS: Is there an alternate? I definitely don't want to use the config method. How about the "http" method? Will this resolve the issue?

After a period on inactivity I have come back to learn Web Serving and Web Site development. I downloaded and configured the most recent version of UniServer. The first couple of times I was able to start and stop both Apache and MySQL. After some configuration changes like enabling password requirement with cookie method for phpmyadmin, MySQL does not stop and when I check my running processes I notice that mysqld-opt.exe has continued to run. I'm having to kill/stop this manually to restart all (Apache & MySQL). Is there something wrong, please help.
