I'm having some difficulties disabling mySQL temporarily to make use of XAMPP/Apache.Is there any way to change the ports so that they can co-exist? My reason for believing it is conflicting with MySQL is this: 03:26:51 AM Problem detected!03:26:51 AM Port 3306 in use by ""C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysqld.exe" -defaults-file="C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\my.ini" MySQL56"!03:26:51 AM MySQL WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!03:26:51 AM You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application03:26:51 AM or reconfigure MySQL and the Control Panel to listen on a different port I'd prefer not to remove mySQL just to use XAMPP, but will if there is no way for them to both operate simultaneously. Would greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter. I tried following the instructions here: Īnd I've tried changing the document: nf in xampp/apache/confĬhanging 'Listen 80' to various things, and after restarting the application I had the same error message occur. MySQL seems to be taking preference, and it functioning correctly, however XAMPP/Apache is giving me this error message when attempting to start Apache: 03:07:32 AM Attempting to start Apache app.03:07:33 AM Status change detected: running03:07:33 AM Status change detected: stopped03:07:33 AM Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.03:07:33 AM This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 03:07:33 AM improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.03:07:33 AM Press the Logs button to view error logs and check03:07:33 AM the Windows Event Viewer for more clues03:07:33 AM If you need more help, copy and post this03:07:33 AM entire log window on the forums However it seems that they are conflicting. I've been using XAMPP/Apache for a while and recently decided to install MySQL.
