WampServer

I received this response after running the tools; but now what do I do to fix it.

State of services:

The service 'wampapache64' is started

The service 'wampmysqld64' is NOT started
EXIT error code:0
Help message for error code 0 is:
The operation completed successfully.



The service 'wampmariadb64' is started

The service 'dnscache' is started

WampServer (Apache, PHP and MySQL) will not function properly if any service
'wampapache64'
'wampmysqld64'
'wampmariadb64'
'dnscache'
is not started.

I really can't tell what is started and what is not started

It looks like `wampmysqld64` (the Mysql service) has not started.

1) Look in the \wamp64\logs\ folder at the error logs, specifically from MySQL

2) If that tells you nothing, then open the `Windows Event Viewer` and look for error messages from `MYSQL` if they do not tell you obviously what the error is, please post a few errors here and we will try and instruct you how to fix them.



Let me say that the normal reason for MySQL not starting, is that you already have another MySQL Server installed on your system. Is that the case for you?

The last error message is

2018-08-13T13:06:46.279829Z 0 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: No such file or directory
2018-08-13T13:06:46.280624Z 0 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
2018-08-13T13:06:46.281313Z 0 [ERROR] Aborting

I am the only one using this system. The message happened the first thing this morning and wamp was the first thing I started after Firefox.

Perhaps it occurred because I shut the computer down last night without shutting down all of the wamp services first?

Hi

Well its always a good idea to close WAMPServer before rebooting or closing Windows, but that error does not seem like it would have been caused by that.

It soes look like you have another MySQL Server running on port 3306. The messages even hint at that.

One regular reason for this is people installing MySQL WorkBench, which can, depanding on how you install it, come with its own version of MySQL Server. Did you do that??

It is also quite possible you have one you didnt know about.

Run the Services addon and look for a service called `MYSQL` remember the WAMPServer one is called `wampmysqld64`

Where do I find the Services addon?

I think that it is : services.msc

I went in the task manager and found 3 instances of mysqld running. I got rid of two of them and then got the little green W. I have gone back and found that there are now 2

Hi

Does this mean you are now working with WAMPServer?

I have been going back and forth between services and task manager.

Now I have restarted "all services' and get the yellow W and it says 2 of 3 services started/

wampsqld64 is NOT running


wampmariad is running


wampapache64 is running

Restart all services gets me the same result.

In digging around I find a mysqld.exe in a folder named MYSQL/MYSQL Server 8.0

I am not sure where this came from; but could this be causing a conflict with one of the ports

It sounds to me like you had already got a MySQL Server installed on your system and that has already beed started at boot time.

Do you have a service called MYSQL as well as the WAMPServer one which is called `wampmysqld64`

If you do, I would suggest uninstalling it. BUT first make sure you have backed up any databases you may have been using, so you can resore them to the WAMPServer version of MySQL

It now works.

For the future folks. Look in the task manager to find out what servers (that you have forgotten about) are running and uninstall them and restart your computer. I know the instructions say nothing else should be running. But you may have forgotten something that you did last year.
