Problem with MAMP and Apache

Hi Joel,

Odds are you have another program running using that port, Skype perhaps?

Let me know if closing Skype(if you have it) works, or I'll help you with the next step!

I have tried Skype and a couple of other programs, however it still doesn't seem to be working. Will try a few other things. Any other advice would be great, thanks for helping.

Alright Joel, try running this in cmd as an administrator:

FOR /F "tokens=5 delims= " %P IN ('netstat -a -n -o ^| findstr :80') DO TaskKill.exe /PID %P /T /F

More info can be found Here.

I hope this helps,

Jonas

Good so far, now I've got it telling me that MySQL needs open port 3306. Do I run the same command over again or is there something else that can be done?

Okey Joel, let's try this:

netstat -b -p TCP

Then look for a line called localhost 3306. More information here. The application on that line is the one you need to shut down. We will soon have you up and running!

Good luck :)

Jonas

Still not working. I've tried checking if there is another instance of MySQL running on the machine by using ps -ax | grep mysqld which hasn't seemed to work either.

Will keep looking for solutions :)

Yeah, it was basically the same as the Apache error apart from the MySQL name and name of the port. Apologies for the late answer.
