How can I free a port.
Posted: Fri Jul 11, 2014 8:04 pm
Hello there,
First post here so apologies if this has been answered I am a newbie learning about PHP and MysQL and I was installing the MySQL on my website using the XAAMP software. I have had success with installing it however when it comes to actually clicking start, when I click start on Apache the software run well. However when i clicked Start on the MySYQL I got these errors. I was wondering if you could help me free the port please so that I could make it work. Once again, apologies if it seems quite obvious but would love some help with this.
