I have installed the latest version of xampp 7.0.1 and after a bit of fiddling around had managed to get apache and MySQL connected.

Today neither Apache nor MYSQL connect.

Yesterday when Apache and MYSQL were connected I typed localhost/127.0.0.1 in to the browser to see if it takes me to the server page to ensure everything is installed correctly However, I kept on getting the http 404 error and no page would load regardless of which browser i tried. HTTP 404 error

This is what I get when I try to start Apache today:

Attempting to start Apache app...
4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     Problem detected!
4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     Port 3306 in use by "Unable to open process"!
4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     MySQL WILL NOT start without the configured ports
free!
4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the
blocking application
4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     or reconfigure MySQL and the Control Panel to listen 
on a different port

And this is what I get when I try to start mysql:

Problem detected!
4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     Port 3306 in use by "Unable to open process"!
4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     MySQL WILL NOT start without the configured ports

4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the

4:27:44 PM  [mysql]     or reconfigure MySQL and the Control Panel to listen
on a different port

That’s odd... Microsoft Edge can’t find this page

any help with this is much appreciated.

  • It's not that people here haven't worked through these issues or don't care. It is rather that a video link may be required to examine the vast array of possible actions to take. – Drew Jan 23 '16 at 22:18
  • what would i need to record a video of to help get this sorted – Moridiin Jan 24 '16 at 16:22
  • short of letting someone in with Teamviewer or continuing to spend countless hours attempting things, it is too broad or unclear what the problem is. I would find someone local that has done it. – Drew Jan 24 '16 at 16:41

As you can see in the log you have mentioned, 

4:27:44 PM  [mysql]  or reconfigure MySQL and the Control Panel to listen on a different port

It is asking you yo reconfigure MySQL on some different port as port 3306 is in use by some other process.

To solve it, follow this link of Stack Overflow which has the solution for same problem you are having.
