Xampp: webpage is not available - mysql

I have installed xampp(32bit) on Windows8.1(64bit).I'm working on, Apache and MySql. The server Apache and MySql services are running properly on the Xampp control panel. But when I run the localhost on my web browser it just shows,
This webpage is not available
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
whenever I installed this xampp 1st time, it runs OK but after restarting it, this error comes up.
Even I configured
1. Appache(httpd.conf)
2. appache(httpd-ssl.conf)
But i'm still not able to open that localhost on web browser!

WAMP Not Starting

I'm trying to get started with WAMP server on a Windows 10 computer. When I try to launch the WAMP application on the computer, I get an error message that says This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b).
The WAMP icon in the taskbar tray is orange, with 2 of 3 services running.
I am still able to access the WAMP dashboard through localhost in my browser.
I've gone through and installed all the required Visual C++ redistributables to no avail.
I've enabled both the .NET frameworks.
I've installed Microsoft DirectX.
I've restarted the computer.
I don't have Skype.
Running as an administrator.
Some of the things I tried might be completely useless, I was just watching a few YouTube videos about how to resolve this error.
It says in 'services.msc' that it's mySQL that isn't running. Only MariaDB and Apache appear in services.msc, but I'm still able to access phpMyAdmin
Does anyone know what could be the issue? I'm just about at the stage of uninstalling WAMP and starting again, or maybe trying XAMPP instead.
UPDATE: I reinstalled WAMP entirely, and now I have a green icon in the taskbar, with all services running, however I am still not able to open the WAMP application as per the above question. Can I use WAMP without using the desktop client?

xamp: how I can get localhost page (with big xampp logo)

I have installed XAMPP and started Apache and MySQL, but when I try to enter local host it appears that
----- <Welcome to XAMPP for Windows 5.6.12
You have successfully installed XAMPP on this system! Now you can start using Apache, MySQL, PHP and other components. You can find more info in the FAQs section or check the HOW-TO Guides for getting started with PHP applications.
Start the XAMPP Control Panel to check the server status.> -----
the XAMPP s own dashboard page.. it seems every thing is ok Apache and MySQL are running but I cant get local host page. what have to do?
Try http://localhost/xampp
Perphaps the http server is blocked by your local firewall?

Xampp 1.8.3-4 server issue with FTP and MySQL

It's been two days I'm Googling to find a solution and not successful as of now. I'm trying to get Xampp 1.3.8-4 working properly in my Mac Maverics.
Out of the 3 green indicators in the 'Manage Servers' window only Apache Web Server is running and trying hard to get MySql database and proFTPD running with no luck.
This has been working fine and only change I've done is installed WordPress and added a few themes if that helps.
Application logs says below;
Starting all servers...
Starting MySQL Database...
Starting ProFTPD...
Checking syntax of configuration file
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/proftpd/scripts/ctl.sh : proftpd started
Starting MySQL Database...

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
This might be because the you are trying to run two Apache servers at the same time. I got the same problem on my Mac running Xampp 1.8.3-4 server and i got my Apple version of Apache server already running. If you open your browser and type 'localhost' and it say 'It Works', means the the apple version of Apache server is already running.
To stop the Apple version of Apache server:
In OSX 10.7 and earlier, you could start and stop the Apache Web Server in Control Panel, by choosing "Sharing" and then unchecking the "Web Sharing" checkbox. As of 10.8 this option is no longer in the control panel.
To disable Apple's version of Apache in current versions of OS X, open a Terminal window and type this command:
sudo apachectl stop
You will need to type your system password when prompted, then you should be able to start the XAMPP version of Apache.

Can I keep MYSQL and WAMP Server running together?

At first, I use Struts 2 to develop a website in Java web technology. So I installed Apache Tomcat as the localhost server and MYSQL as the database (MYSQL here is the full application from mysql.com, not the packages like XAMPP or WAMP...)
But now I switch to learn a little bit about PHP so I install WAMP full package. When I start all services of WAMP and go to browser and type localhost, everything work fine
But when I go to localhost/phpmyadmin, it seems to connect to the old MYSQL application in my computer (what I've used in Java web). And then I restart computer and use MYSQL Workbench (in the MYSQL application), but now it connects to the database of WAMP package, and I can not connect to the old database (in Java web) anymore
The solution is remove WAMP but I need WAMP for PHP
So I just want to ask how can I use MYSQL application and WAMP package together (MYSQL application for Java web and WAMP package for PHP)?
Thank you and apology for my bad English!
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1 and open my (Configuration file) and then navigate to
[client]
port=3306
Change this to
[client]
port:3307
This will make phpmyadmin to run on 3306 and Java-Mysql to run on 3307
You can of course keep both XAMPP and WAMP running together keeping in mind that you have changed the default ports for either of it to some other ports rather than 80,443 and 3306, but sometimes it could create conflict as when you install some other third party softwares or enable certain services that run on port 80,443,3306.
The best alternative here would be to install one of the servers inside a virtual machine with network configured as "host-only-adapter" so that from the base machine you could access XAMPP/WAMP installed on the virtual machine by just pointing the ip-address of the virtual machine through a web-browser.
or,
If you want to run both XAMPP and WAMP together on the same machine but access only one of the servers at a time then you could go ahead installing both of them one after another. But, keep in mind that before installing the other server you have to completely stop all the services running from the XAMPP or WAMP control panel then quit the application. After this step you can go ahead installing the other server without changing any configurations or port numbers. This is because in this case we assumed that only one of the servers would be accessed at a time. Hence, before launching the other server one has to completely quit the application that is running currently by stopping all of it's services. If skype is installed then one has to change the default incoming connection ports to other than port 80 and 443.
Like mentioned above, if at all the intention is to access both servers up and running concurrently then taking advantage of a virtual machine would be the best to avoid conflicts and a long-term troubleshoots eventually.
If you messed up changing ports and config files then you could end up with the following error while trying to access phpmyadmin from XAMPP control panel:
**mysql said: Cannot connect: invalid settings. xampp**
note: while launching the servers , run it as administrator else some services will not start properly.
"I TRIED INSTALLING BOTH XAMPP AND WAMP ON WINDOWS 10 AS SUCH AS POINTED BY MANY THREADS I CHANGED THE DEFAULT PORTS FOR MYSQL & APACHE XAMPP AS IT WOULD CONFLICT WITH WAMP ALREADY INSTALLED ONLY ENDING UP UNABLE TO ACCESS PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. THEN REINSTALLED XAMPP WITHOUT CHANGING ANY CONFIGS OR PORTS. STOP THE WAMP SERVICES, QUIT THE APP AND THEN LAUNCH PHPMYADMIN FROM XAMPP CONTROL PANEL. AT LAST IT WORKED!. THE PROCESS LOOKS SHORT THOUGH WHEN IN REALITY IT TOOK ME COUNTLESS HOURS AND PAIN RESEARCHING ON THE WEB AND TESTING FOR A POSSIBLE SOLUTION UNTILL I CAME UP WITH THIS."
Hopes, this quick tips and guides would be helpful.

Xampp mysql administration page error

I installed the latest stable xampp package, and received the following error page when I tried to access MySQL administration page.
I haven't been able to find documentation of this particular problem on several guides, and mysql's configuration file, my.cnf does not appear to be in the same place when installed with xampp.
There is another instance of mysql service running.
If you are on windows:
Go to local services: You can run services.msc
Scroll down till you see mysql, right click and click stop on the context menu that appears.
Restart xammp and run phpmyadmin again.
