There are similar question in the thread but here I am obliged to mention this issue because being a newbie learner I couldn't figure out and resolve this problem. Sorry for my long English, I hope you care to help me.

By the way, I have the XAMPP Control Panel installed on my windows already and I had worked on to create few databases in the localhost/phpmyadmin (browser). Today, I had downloaded and installed MySQL-installer-community from this Link. I followed all the procedures to install it and configured it correctly.(The default port number was 33060 and I don't change that while installing the MySQL Installer).

But later by some reason I had to approach to my previous XAMPP Control Panel and tried to start APACHE and MySQL. APACHE was started but MySQL cannot be started and got terminated automatically. Later I found that MySQL in XAMPP Panel is running on same ports as I had not changed the port number while configuring the MySQL installer. So, I changed the default MySQL port number i.e. 3306 on XAMPP Control Panel to 3307 by making the changes in my.ini file as shown in the embedded image: Changes on my.ini file

Later, while I restart the XAMPP Control Panel, MySQL starts without delivering any errors SEE HERE but still the Access is denied on the browser. For image, see this: Access denied in the browser

However, through shell alongside, I can fetch the databases even though the access is denied in browser. Accessing Database via Shell

Thus, I am seeking for the help on why can't I access the databases via localhost/phpmyadmin on the browser? Please guide me thoroughly!!

I found the solution on my own: For this we have to go to the drive where the XAMPP is installed (for me it's C:\xampp). Then, we have to look for the folder phpmyadmin and click on that. Inside the phpmyadmin, we have to look for the file config.inc and open with notepad or any other text editor. Look for the line $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1:3306'; and change it to $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1:3307';

This works for me.
