How do I tell XAMPP to use an existing MySQL server
Posted: 09. June 2018 02:49
I've just installed XAMPP and when I click the Start button for MySQL it doesn't run. The log includes
2018-06-08 15:11:31 5040 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: No such file or directory
2018-06-08 15:11:31 5040 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
2018-06-08 15:11:31 5040 [ERROR] Aborting
When I try to install Joomla it can't connect to the server. How do I tell XAMPP/Joomla to use the existing server?
Thanks
