How do I use MySQL through XAMPP

Question

I installed XAMPP v3 2 1 because I wanted to learn how to create database in MySQL and learn more about TOMCAT  However  I am a little confused about what to do now  I have read many blogs and the documentation on this page http   dev mysql com doc refman 5 0 en creating-database html     While following the directions I found that  I can t access my local host   Attempted Solution  I shut down skype because I read that might be an issue  I don t have any older versions of XAMPP on my computer and I don t believe I am connected to any other servers  So  I don t have permission to do anything   OR  Am I trying to access mysql through the wrong command prompt  I am trying to use MySQL from the XAMPP shell  I am not sure why I cannot get everything working  Am I going about this the wrong way   Thanks for any help

Changing XAMPP Default Port  If you want to get XAMPP up and running  you should consider changing the port from the default 80 to say 7777    In the XAMPP Control Panel  click on the Apache     Config button which is located next to the    Logs    button  Select    Apache  httpd conf     from the drop down   Notepad should open  Do Ctrl F to find    80    and change line Listen 80 to Listen 7777 Find again and change line ServerName localhost 80 to ServerName localhost 7777 Save and re-start Apache  It should be running by now    The only demerit to this technique is  you have to explicitly include the port number in the localhost url  Rather than http   localhost it becomes http   localhost 7777

XAMPP Apache   MariaDB   PHP   Perl  X -any OS    After successful installation execute xampp-control exe in XAMPP folder Start Apache and MySQL  Open browser and in url type localhost or 127 0 0 1 then you are welcomed with dashboard   By default your port is listing with 80 If you want you can change it to your desired port number in httpd conf file  If port 80 is already using with other app then you have to change it    For example you changed port number 80 to 8090 then you can run as  localhost 8090  or  127 0 0 1 8090

XAMPP only offers MySQL  Database Server   amp  Apache  Webserver  in one setup and you can manage them with the xampp starter   After the successful installation navigate to your xampp folder and execute the xampp-control exe  Press the start Button at the mysql row     Now you ve successfully started mysql  Now there are 2 different ways to administrate your mysql server and its databases   But at first you have to set change the MySQL Root password  Start the Apache server and type localhost or 127 0 0 1 in your browser s address bar  If you haven t deleted anything from the htdocs folder the xampp status page appears  Navigate to security settings and change your mysql root password   Now  you can browse to your phpmyadmin under http   localhost phpmyadmin or download a windows mysql client for example navicat lite or mysql workbench  Install it and log in to your mysql server with your new root password
