Why mysql phpmyadmin is not picking it's own port but instead it is picking apache port, Can't run codeigniter program while open phpmyadmin

So I have codeigniter program run in localhost:8080 and when I want to open phpmyadmin throught localhost it's refuse to connect, then I access localhost:8080and i close my codeigniter program then phpmyadmin can be connected, but then I can't open two program at the same time.

This is my setting for my localhost

config.inc.php

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3306';

httpd.conf

Listen 8080
ServerName localhost:8080

php.ini

mysqli.default_port=3306
mysql.default_port=3306

my.ini

port=3306

Idk what's wrong with it.

Solution

  • You have each part working separately, which is good start!

    • mysql server is set to listen on port 3306, according to my.ini.
    • apache is set to listen on port 8080, according to httpd.conf.
    • phpMyAdmin's config file, config.inc.php, has the details of where it can connect to the mysql server. (You have included config.inc.php twice in your question by the way.)

    If your CodeIgniter application is supposed to use the same instance of Apache as phpMyAdmin, then try reviewing a tutorial on how to set it up as localhost:8080/phpmyadmin and localhost:8080/phpmyadmin.

    If your CodeIgniter application is supposed to use a different instance of Apache as phpMyAdmin, then there will be 2 httpd.conf files in different directories, and you should configure one to listen on port 8080, and the other on 8081.

    If your CodeIgniter application is supposed to use a web server other than Apache, such as PHP's built-in web server then you can tell that to listen on port 8081 instead.

    Your question is tagged xampp, so you could try reviewing it's setup or frequently asked questions.
