I am new to php. I was already running mysql ver 8.0.27 on my mac 11.5 (BigSur) Now i have installed XAMPP (8.0.15), Apache is running perfectly but MySQL Database is stopped and also localhost/phpmyadmin is not working. But my previously installed mysql is running, i am using it through workbench. Can i use my running mysql with it or need to change the port to run from XAMPP?

CodePudding user response：

You should use modern dev stacks like Docker or Vagrant (I prefer docker) ... XAMPP is outdated. But it looks like a port problem. If you really want to use XAMPP, try changing the port numbers.
