Port 3306

[KnightmareZ]

I've downloaded xampp and everything..

Installed it with apache and mysql.. I cant go into "localhost". localhost/xampp, it just saying the website couldnt be shown. I shut down Mysql and apache and then i ran portcheck and it said port 3306 is already used by the system and I dont know what program is blocking it <.< where to see that? Answear me asap, pm me with ur msn or answear here, maybe you will remain a litle reward (A) hehe thanks

btw ive open'd ports 7171.3306 and 80 on my router..

search for some port scanner... you can also use netstat (execute it in cmd) to see if there are connections to that port...

When I ran netstat I didnt find anything connected with port 3306, didnt find any nice working port scanner but ill search some more..

Up for more ideas what it could be!

Thanks!

maybe you have deleted some files... I don't know windows server well, but try to put somewhere file index.html and check if then you can request it from localhost...
also don't you need to instal phpmyadmin on windows separetly from other software?

She or he doesn't have to forward ports if she/he is going to request it from the localhost...

If you are running the server on the same PC as you are running the mysql server, why are you opening the port 3306? Do you want people to be able to remotely connect to your MySQL database?

Well unless you have the server on one PC and your MySQL server on another, or know that you will specifically connect to MySQL remotely, you do not need to forward port 3306.

Forwarding that unnecessarily just opens security holes, since it allows people to try and bruteforce your password.

Also why are you forwarding port 81? Port 80 is the one used by default for the HTTP protocol.
Did you change apache's default connection port to 81? If so then you need to add ":81" to the end of the url, such as:

http://www.whateverwebsiteurlyouhave.com:81/

Okay, I removed the 3306 from the list and sorry i mean 80 not 81 btw i added you msn lets talk there..
