Probably your 3306 or whatever you use is being used by other applications. Maybe you don’t know that XAMPP usually has problems with apps like Skype. If you are running Skype try to close it and open XAMPP. You can also change default ports for HTTP and MySQL.

To Edit MySql ports open my.cnf and restart the service.

Step2: Import cacti folder under XAMPP register
