Answer 1

This error is due to the fact that you already have one MySql previously installed, this MySqlthat had already installed is receiving requisitions on port 3306 and the MySql that you are trying to install with the XAMPP that will run port 3306 that is already being occupied by the version that you had previously installed, there is no way it occupies something already occupied right? One solution would be to change the door of the MySql that you installed with the XAMPP or uninstall it.

You have to change the port in two files:

1st in this file: \xampp\mysql\bin\my.ini

2nd in this file: \xampp\php\php.ini
