First, I mistakenly downloaded MySQL workbench thinking it was the program I needed for my class- but I actually needed XAMPP. Because of this I had to change the port from 3306 to 3307 in XAMPP, and I assumed XAMPP would then work. It then tells me that my password was denied even though I never made one (phpMyAdmin access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)), So I thought maybe I had created one for workbench that somehow carried over and I forgot it, so I decided to uninstall the workbench package. Now I get these errors:
2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
— The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured). mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.
mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
I've attempted to look up solutions but was unable to figure anything out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
