Apache Friends Support Forum

I can not get the MySQL to run. Apache is working after I change the port from 80 to 8080. however now I notice mysql is not opening. I have this set on portableapp. on my USB.
currently my ports are as follow;
Apache 8080 main and ssl 336
MySQL ini is 3306 every thing is default but the main apache port 80 which I changed to 8080.
I also have xampp on my C: drive and apache and mysql are working good. (not under portableApps on C:drive).
I also tried to uninstalled mysql on the control panel and does not let me do it.

Can you suggest what ports i should have in both systems; on the C:drive and USB? ( when I set up my xampp on my C:drive I was force to change the ports too because it said, my sistem was using port 80)

And thats the problem. MySQL in C is already running on that port.
Because you have registered MySQL on C as Windows service it gets startet on system boot.
And because both XAMPP MySQL components are trying to use the same service (same servicename) you now have the problems.

If you would change the expected servicename for the portable MySQL component, you would be able to start MySQL if your MySQL on C is not running at the same time

Guys, I am not sure what this means.
