How can I start a WAMP and MySQL on the same computer?

1

I am creating a web page for my WoW server. If I start a WAMP and then open the web page, there is an error shown in the upper left corner:

Error: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES).
Notice: Undefined index: off in C:\wamp\www\index.php on line 569

I tried to run MySQL, but the problem is that it won't start because it tries to run from the same port as the WAMP (both are port 3306).

What can I do to get MySQL and the WAMP started on the same computer?

1If you have already installed WAMP, there is no need to run MySQL separately - it is already included in WAMP. The error message clearly states that your password is incorrect, which means that MySQL is already running. So, instead of starting MySQL, you access it through a client such as phpmyadmin and set the root password. – Prahlad Yeri – 2012-08-12T20:46:01.463

@PrahladYeri - You should make that comment the answer. – Nifle – 2012-08-13T05:41:51.280

As per my comment, If you have already installed WAMP, there is no need to run MySQL separately - it is already included in WAMP - The M stands for MySQL.

The error message clearly states that your password is incorrect, which means that MySQL is already running. So, instead of starting MySQL, you access it through a client such as phpmyadmin and set the root password. MySQL Workbench is another client which is Windows based.
