Please help - php \ mysql "crashing"

Hi Mac,
I started with my portfolio. Got my db sorted with some data and could query from php.
the next day, nothing worked.
The MySQL server was not starting up.
Downloaded and istalled EasyPHP-DevServer-13.1VC9. Everything was working fine.
The next day, the MySQL server not starting up. The EasyPHP not launching.
As example, I type in http: // 127.0.0.1 / edit.php (no spaces) in my browser, and get an Object not found error, Error 404 of which the file resides at the location.

I tried changing my httpd.conf file to have
Listen 127.0.0.1:8080
ServerName 127.0.0.1:8080
Still no luck.

Any advice on what i can still try?
Assistance will be highly appreciated.

you have skype?
try make sure skype is off when you start it up?

maybe try re-install?

not 100% what the problem is,
but I know I had connectivity issues before because skype was clashing

Skype uses port 80, so it is not an issue if the port has been reset to 8080.

Try this from your browser (Make sure Apache etc is running first) -

http://localhost:8080/edit.php

This is not an error with EasyPHP, in fact it indicates that Apache is running. The 404 error is generated by Apache.

The error is telling you that there is no file named "edit.php" at the location you are using.
There is either no file with that name, or you have stored the file in a different directory, or the address is incorrect.

You probably need to add the port number to the url, as above.
