Hi Everyone:
Ok, I admit it ...I was dum, dum, dum! ....enough beating myself up ...I really could use some help please.
I've been using XAMPP for the last 2 months with absolutely no problem. I needed to migrate some data from one data base to another so I decided to download and install the MySQLTools from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.
This has entirely wrecked my XAMPP set up. When I try and run XAMPP or it's components MySQL or Apachie I get "Ports 80, 443, and 3306 " are already in use.
I'm running Vista:
Here's what I've tried so far:
Un-installed MySQLTools
Rebooted - no luck
Un-installed XAMPP
Rebooted
Re-installed
-no luck
Rolled back Vista registry to a date before the MySQLTools
No luck
Checked these forums for solutions.
I tried the solution changing httpd.conf from
# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
to
# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
# Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
Also read various other solutions, but none seem to work.
I have checked what is running on those ports. Vista tells me they're being used by "SYSTEM"
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
