Stuck in error 2 with mysql using XAMPP

Question

I'm trying to make a webpage using XAMPP with apache and MySQL after that I will use WordPress for creating the web page. I have a problem creating the hostname and defining the user privileges at XAMPP. The error 2 is constantly appearing while I try to define the user privileges:

Can't read dir of 'C:\xampp\mysql\lib\plugin\' (errno: 2 "No such file or directory")

Can someone help and guide me for solving this problem

Answer 1

Just create the missing folders C:\xampp\mysql\lib\plugin\ and it should work.

I had the same issue when creating new mysql users in PHPMyAdmin after downloading the XAMP 5.6.30 package. Creating the two missing empty folders worked for me.
