Hi,

> The port for mysql in my system is 3308
Because you disabled MariaDB that was installed and you did it without reading the document that was recommended to read at the end of the installation of Wampserver.
You are lucky, you can still read it :
Right-click Wampmanager icon -> Help -> MariaDB - MySQL

To save you from reading fatigue
Right-Click -> Tools -> Use a port other than 3308 and choose 3306

I changed the port number from 3308 to 3306 for sql and the error went of .. thanks

Hi,

> the error went of .. thanks
Don't let that stop you from reading the document, it will allow you to understand why now "it works!" and understanding is learning.
