Nice to be back with another solution
for a common (not so) problem which google takes some time to find a
proper solution. As mentioned in the title of the post, this thing
happens when i was installing xampp server on my office computer.
After successfully installing the xampp server, i was trying to start
the mysql service using the control panel. But when i start the mysql
service, it was trying to start but finally it was failing to start
on port 3306. It gave some error about port 3306.
After few hours of google search i
realized that the root cause for this issue was that port 3306 is
using by another mysql service which was installed from another
application. Then i had to change the port number to another one to
start the mysql service on xampp server.
To change the port successfully, i had
to change the port number in following files in the mentioned manner.
You can change the port number to 3308
from 3306 in \xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini file
in a couple of places.
There is also a couple of default
MySQL port settings in the \xampp\php\php.ini file
that would also need changing.
Save the files and restart Apache and
MySQL to test.
Cheers !!!!!!!!!
