Hi all,
I have been using Xampp for a few weeks and so far I had no problem in launching MySQL. This time, when I ran Xampp as administrator (as usual), I got this error:
Problem detected!
Port 3306 in use by ""C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\bin\mysqld.exe" --defaults-file="C:\ProgramData\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.7\my.ini" MySQL57"!
I changed the port from 3306 to 3307 in C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini and restarted my computer, but I still get the same error. I found no working solution online, and I would appreciate it if you could help me with this.
This is the log:
