I want to create a small application using MySQL but I am getting an error message saying something about access being denied and port 8080 not being opened. I am really sure that the port works properly. I’m using WinXP and Tomcat Apache 5.5 that’s using that same 8080 port which is why I know it’s working. What else could be the problem?
You cannot use the same port for both MySQL and Tomcat at the same time. What you should do is this: go to windows directory and find my.ini. Open it and look for a line that says: port=XXXX . If there is a # before it, drop it. Write 3306 instead of XXXX and that’s it. It’s another port number. I think this should help you.
