Im trying to learn how to use Joomla for a website development module in college and have installed Xampp in order to run Joomla locally.

Basically when I enter the url for the joomla site I have created on my local host it continually tries to connect with no joy.

I have done a little bit of research in order to put this right but I keep comming up against a brick wall. Ive run the Xampp-portcheck.exe as apache fails to launch providing me with the error port 80 is busy.

portcheck comes back clear on port 80 but states 3306 is blocked and when I try to close mysql process it gives me an error message saying that mysql is still running...

I'm scratching my brain here can someone please help!
 
The process is running but I'm not getting anything.... just failing to connect.... even when mysql is disabled I am unable to start apache
