its not as difficult as you think.

You must be registered for see links

1. install and wait for it to complete.
2. open up the xampp control panel
3. start apache and mysql
4. go to

@gesus most of the time my sql doesnt start

@gesus both im just uninstalling my xxamp i got and installing yours

that isnt the reason but you probably had a really outdated one anyway.

the problem is that teamviewer or skype is using the port that mysql/apache uses so you will either have to change the ports of tv or skype (which ever one is using mysql port or vice versa) or unistall/disable tv and skype. i believe skype is the one using the port. also make sure your firewall is turned off.
 
to the mod who deleted my post you misunderstood me. i am not offering help via teamviewer i was asking if he had tv or skype because they are most likely blocking the mysql port! @Holmes @JMG

You can download the latest version of XAMPP on their official website:

There's a great tutorial on it over here:

You must be registered for see links

If MySQL isn't starting, please include the error logs. Also @gesus - MySQL runs on port 3306, it's Apache you're talking about (port 80 & 443), which isn't the problem if it's MySQL that doesn't start.

[Kak]

of course, it tells u that before setup.

Be sure to launch it as administrator, and close any apps that use port 80/443

 

[DDOSer]

Port 3306 is in use by ""C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini" MySQL"!
MySQL WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
or reconfigure MySQL and the Control Panel to listen on a different port

Looks like you've already got mysql open?
Port 3306 is in use by ""C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\my.ini" MySQL"!

[cmd]

[Weasel]

Do you have multiple instances of MySQL installed?

 

[DDOSer]

No @Holmes Uninstalled all I have used

 

[griimnak]

Do you have multiple instances of MySQL installed?

Looks to me like he installed xampp, and stand alone mysql and it's open at the moment, lol.
Yeah just close your standalone mysql server, relaunch xampp and you should be fine
