XAMPP won't start because I'm already running MySQL on port 3306
- by JellicleCat
I'm trying to start XAMPP, but it fails with only the word 'Busy' in the Control Panel console.
I ran xampp/install/portcheck.bat to see if the ports were available, and I see that port 3306 is busy (because I'm running MySQL as a service on it). I suppose that XAMPP wants to take over and run MySQL on that port. Can anyone tell me how to get XAMPP to just make use of the existing server and not try to control it itself?
