I'm trying to get XAMPP set up to run Apache & MySQL for a the Laravel development environment that I need to start using.
When I first opened XAMPP, I couldn't start Apache because port 80 was already in use. I changed the port to 8080 as recommended by the answer here.
Currently, when I open XAMPP up, I get an error that says:
11:12:00 [Apache] Problem detected!
11:12:00 [Apache] Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4!
11:12:00 [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free!
11:12:00 [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application
11:12:00 [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port
11:12:00 [main] Starting Check-Timer
11:12:00 [main] Control Panel Ready
But when I click 'Start' for the Apache service, it starts successfully.
When I click 'Start' for the MySQL service, I get the message:
11:17:01 [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL app...
and then nothing happens...
I tried doing what the accepted answer here suggests, and exited the server, deleted the ibdata1 file, and restarted the server, but it just got to the same point, with the message
11:22:55 [mysql] Attempting to start MySQL app...
then doesn't seem to do anything...
I came across the Conflicting ports of MySQL and XAMPP question, and tried what the answer suggested- changing the port number in my.ini from 3306 to 3307, and adding the line
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = '3307';
to config.inc.php, but that doesn't seem to have resolved the issue.
Any know how I can get MySQL to start up successfully from XAMPP?
when i click to start MySQL it gives this message
Please anybody can help me.Thanks advance.

As the error says: you are running MYSQL from C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld
You can go Windows logo > type services.msc > Search for Mysql Service and stop it. (left pannel "Stop")
NOTE: If you are going to use XAMPP, you should remove any previous installation of apache, php and/or mysql

But now i can access the localhost:1234 as port for my Apache is 1234
I'm getting the following errors when I launch XAMPP.

I wasn't able to find a proper solution on google, so I'm kinda' hoping someone could help me out with this.
Oh and, XAMPP is running properly. Apache and the MySQL service are both running ..
Go to cmd and run it with Administrator mode.
Uninstall mysql service through command prompt using the following command.
sc delete mysql
restart XAMPP
To delete existing service is not good solution for me, because on port 3306 run MySQL, which need other service. But it is possible to run two MySQL services at one time (one with other name and port). I found the solution here: http://emjaywebdesigns.com/xampp-and-multiple-instances-of-mysql-on-windows/
Here is my modified setting:
Edit your “my.ini” file in c:\xampp\mysql\bin\
Change all default 3306 port entries to a new value 3308
edit your “php.ini” in c:\xampp\php and replace 3306 by 3308
Create the service entry - in Windows command line type
sc.exe create "mysqlweb" binPath= "C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe
--defaults-file=c:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini mysqlweb"
Open Windows Services and set Startup Type: Automatic, Start the service
This is how I solved similar problem:
Launch XAMPP Control Panel.
Uninstall the MySQL service: click 'green check' button beside MySQL, under Service column. The 'green check' button will change into 'red cross' button.
Exit XAMPP, and relaunch it again.
Click Start.
I hope it can help solve your problem too.
Firstly enter cmd.
Then write:
sc delete MySQL
After that restart your computer. When restarting your computer and opening your xampp, you can see cross symbol on the MySQL. Click the cross symbol and click the start. That's all.
Set XAMPP controlpanel to run under Administrator priviledges.
In Win 7
1. First make sure XAMPP control panel is not running
2. SHIFT+right click on XAMPP Control Panel
3. Click on properties
4. In properties select tab 'Compatibility'
5. On bottom of the tab under 'Privilege level' check the box "Run this program as an administrator"
6. Click OK
this worked for me
Ok so i found out the problem :)
ctrl+alt+delete to start task manager, once you get to task manager go to services. find MySQL and right click on it. Then click stop process. That worked for me and i hope it works for you :D
its because you probaly installed wamp server and uninstall it but wampmysql.exe still running and using the default mysql port
go to msconfig
under services tab uncheck wampmysqld to deactivate it
reboot the computer should work
Ok it's very easy actually to solve this...most of you who are presented with this problem probably don't even realize you don't have the full software yet installed :)
I tried looking online with little success except some1 mentioned you need to look for those services running already. Forexample problem with filezilla you look in task manager for filezilla and you stop the process then you click the X in the xampp control pannel to install filezilla and then click run and it should start the service normally showing you a green lite with a check mark.
Same goes for mysql issues.
As for the apache problem, it usualy is a problem with the port being overtaken by skype or some other program, but you can find info how to solve that on the net easily :)
about this specific issue:
12:35:23 [mysql] Found Path: "C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\bin\mysqld" --defaults-file="C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\my.ini" MySQL
12:35:23 [mysql] Expected Path: c:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=c:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini mysql
notice that .exe is missing from 1st row at the end of mysqld.
To fix this, start regedit.exe and change
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\mysql ImagePath
by adding the .exe extension.
Restart xampp control panel and this error should not show up.
This is how I solved mine, using mircea answer above.
From the error above, copy the mentioned Expected Path.
Start regedit.exe, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then SYSTEM then CurrentControlSet then services then MySQL. Click ImagePath, Edit, Modify. Paste the Expected path copied from the above into the Value data field, Press OK, close regedit. Restart Xampp.
That is how it worked for me, for I'm having MSSQL server installed and running and didn't want to do away with it.
In my case this issue caused because my local machine used to the one MySQL service installed earlier at 3006 port.
Thus I modified both my.ini (C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini) and php.ini (C:\xampp\php\php.ini) files replaced port 3006 to 3008
After that I've created a new service running the command described above by Tommer:
sc.exe create "mysqlweb" binPath= "C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=c:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini mysqlweb"
hello i have had same problem an i did the steps with tommer and the problem solved thank you
note :
you don't have to go to that like just do this ;
1)-- Edit your “my.ini” file in c:\xampp\mysql\bin\ Change all default 3306 port entries to a new value 3308
2)--edit your “php.ini” in c:\xampp\php and replace 3306 by 3308
3)--Create the service entry - in Windows command line type
sc.exe create "mysqlweb" binPath= "C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe --defaults-file=c:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini mysqlweb"
4)--Open Windows Services and set Startup Type: Automatic, Start the service
