Question

I have tried to resolve, error on how to start mysql service on xampp. I tried disabling the port on skype

What should I need to do to start MySQL using Xampp. Thanks in advance for the reply

Answer 1

This happens when you have something running on port 80, like skype. You can either stop the service running on that port or open httpd.conf (in your XAMPP directory) and change the port to something else, change the following line

Listen 80

to

Listen 8080
