Topic : Upgrade MySQL port 3306.

Posted By: adrianxw on August 8, 2024, 6:27 am

AMPPS says MySQL has an update. Trying to upgrade I have a flag against "port 3306" saying the specified port is already in use. I'm guessing the older MySQL is using it. Do I uninstall MySQL before I install it?

To check which process is running on port 3306 execute below command in command prompt.
netstat -ano | findstr 3306
This will give you the PID of the process running on port 3306
To stop that process use the following command.
taskkill /F /PID 13896

replace 13896 with your PID.
you can disable autostart for that process from the services window.

That command produces a four item list:

TCP 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0.0 Listening 2120
TCP 0.0.0.0.33060 0.0.0.0.0 Listening 2120
TCP [::]:3306 [::]:0 Listening 2120
TCP [:

:33060 [::]:0 Listening 2120

2120 is the PID of the process running port 3306

you can kill that process using the commandtaskkill /F /PID 2120

also, you can check which process running using the task manager Open Task Manager and go to the services tab
check the process name for PID 2120

2120 appears and goes again quickly, it said something like "Group Policy Client".

Not understanding what appears and goes again quickly means, the PID of a process changes every time the system reboots so check the PID just before you stop it.

Please share screenshots or more details for a better understanding of the issue

You can also open ticket for faster resolution of the issue.

Look at the list, the item is present, wait five minutes, look at the list, it is no longer there. Not rocket science. Forget it. The little window continues to say update available, but the product continues to do all I seem to need it to do. End of story, I thought a couple of easy actions would solve a problem I did not have.

Please share the output of the following command by executing it in command prompt

"E:\Ampps\mysql\bin\mysqld.exe" --standalone --console

Please change E:\Ampps with your installation path.

I am trying to do this, but am having trouble finding the back slash character! There are two keys showing it, but they don't print it, neither raw, shift, alt or alt gr.

You can also drag and drop exe to the command prompt this will add path to command prompt terminal.
Go to Ampps installation folder then go to mysql folder and look for mysqld.exe file and drag that file to terminal.
then add " --standalone --console " to the line and hit enter

Err, I think. It has taken me a while to get round a few things.

As per your output seems like there is no issue with starting the MySQL server.

Can you try starting MySQL from the AMPPS panel and let us know if it has started or if you are facing any issues?

You can also open a ticket for faster resolution of the issue.

It seems like the MySQL port conflict is preventing the upgrade. You can try stopping the older MySQL instance from running through the AMPPS panel and then attempt the upgrade again. If the issue persists, consider opening a ticket.
