XAMPP Not executing

[Wyattlg02]

So Yesterday I had posted a topic about the page not actually loading for me to work off of it (the PHP page) now today I go and XAMPP is OFF like completely shut down, I go back to turn it on and I get the following error:

I've read the text, and it says a port is blocked which is shouldn't be, could there be any other errors making this message display? We are running a TeamSpeak 3 server, but I dont think that would conflict

I have checked twice and IIS is not turned on, the port 3306 is open TCP/UDP on the inside network and outside.

Okay, so after looking at those links you provided, I have the Apache side of things working (at least it hasn't shut down.) on the other hand, MySQL turns on for 3-5 seconds then shuts down, this is the error log:

Maybe MariaDB has not stopped too? or there is another process listening on port 3306.

[Wyattlg02]

Is there a way to pull up all active programs listening on that port? Should I change 3306 to something else and see if that works? We don't have MariaDB on the box.

Simply click the "Netstat" Button in Xampp Dialog. It shows up all processes in your environment.

if you need to go deeper, ask in a Microsoft Forum for help about taskmanager. I do not have sufficient knowlegde about Windows, as Windows is not the scope of this forum.

Anyway, due to the error log i think, that your database / harddisk has been corrupted. Did you have a disk crash and/or did you replace the data folder from Xampp?

[Altrea]

Is there a way to pull up all active programs listening on that port?

very good question. Yes there is!
The XAMPP control panel give you at least two of these ways.
You can start the control panel with elevated administrator rights (rightclick the xampp-control.exe and choose "run as administrator". After that you should see in the control panel logs more information in the prechecks which process is using port 3306.
The other way is the Netstat button and search for the port 3306 in this list.
There are for sure many other ways too.

Should I change 3306 to something else and see if that works?

This is not recommend because many PHP webapplications are default configured to connect to that port.
One of these programs is already included in XAMPP (phpmyadmin)

I have opened up the netstat window and mySQLd.exe is still open, after closing the one SQL item I saw in the task manager and refreshing the issue is still there.

[Altrea]

What do you mean by "closing the one SQL item"?

[Wyattlg02]

There was an item labled SQL something in the Task Manager, I had closed it and it still hasnt loaded (not sure what it is as I have closed it)

[Altrea]

Mariadb is already started (process mysqld.exe) or you have another MySQL/Mariadb daemon running on that server.
