Can't Start MySQL 4.1.12 - something else is using 3306

[LittleSmudge]

I have installed MySQL on a remote server on our network running Windoz 2000 Server.

However it reports that something else is using Port 3306 and refuses to start.

Details :

C:\ .. .. \bin> mysqld --console
Can't start server: Bind on TPC/IP port: No Error
051128  9:14:34 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
051128  9:14:34 [ERROR] Aborting
051128  9:14:34 [Note] mysqld: Shutdown complete

Well If I had another instance running I wouldn't be trying to launch this one !

I've checked the Windoz Task Manager and MySQL does not appear on the Processes List.

Also If I run the MySQL server Instance Config Wizard it only shows one instance installed and fails to start it that way either.


So I'm fairly sure something else is using port 3306.

How can I find out what it is that is sitting on port 3306 ?

For that I recommend TCPView:
