Download and extract all files into the xampp installation folder and overwrite when asked then use this newer version instead.

Also open the \xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini file in your text editor and remove the # from this line so it looks like this

Code: Select all

bind-address="127.0.0.1"

Save the file and restart MySQL so it reads the edit in the my.ini file.

Open C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS file by dragging it into an open text editor and make sure the first line after the beginning comments looks like this

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 localhost

If not then add it then save the file and try again.

Also a reboot won't hurt to clean things up.

If you are using an IIS and MSSQL Service on your computer, why don't you use them instead of XAMPP?
It is not very comfortable to use a webserver stack with all changed defaukt ports, but sure it is possible.

Why not? Nowadays IIS is stable with PHP. This wasn't the case in former times.
But okay, it's your computer.

You need to change the

• Apache HTTP Port 80 at two places in \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf
• Apache HTTPS/SSL Port 443 at three places in \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf

After that (re)start Apache and try if you can access http://localhost:

Do you still use IIS for other scripting languages?
If not, then maybe you want to uninstall IIS and switch completely to Apache?

If you are using the default control panel, you can't change it. It is hardcoded.
If you are using the new control panel, you can define the new port in the configuration, but only in the current versions.

Well, maybe in "Config -> Service and Port Settings"?
Just a guess
