title: A little different than ordinary case of MySQL and xampp
body: <p>I've been struggling with this problem for quite some time, I downloaded 
  'MySQL server' and 'workbench' and installed them, later I downloaded xampp and now there is a problem that xampp comes with its own mysql and is not able to trace my already installed version, So I want to give xampp the path to my already installed MySQL. I tried installing xampp with its own mysql but there was a conflict for ports between the two - sql(that came with xampp) and my MySQL.</p>
