I have spent way too much time trying to get his to work. I can't open phpMyAdmin, I get an error #2002 the server is not responding. If i type localhost in my browser (firefox or IE 9) I get nowhere. if I enter 127.0.0.1 I can get to the XAMPP for windows page. under status is shows MySQL database as deactivated, under CD Collection iget the following
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found. in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\cds.php on line 78

Could not connect to database!
Is MySQL running or did you change the password.
I am using Control panel v3.0.2 and it shows that both Apache (ports 80,443)and MySQL (port 3306) are running and there is and possible problem listed " possible problem detected: port 80 in use by c:\xampp\xampp\control-3-beta.exe!"
what should I do next?
I'm running win 7 64 bit
