Having two MySQL servers may be the problem. Each will run on its own, but both may have problems running at the same time.

Assuming they are running on the same physical machine, it would be a better idea to have Moodle and LAMS use a single instance of MySQL.

From here you can either start from scratch by uninstalling either LAMS or Moodle, and then reinstalling it with the existing MySQL parameters in mind (easy way, but you lose your data). The other way would be to export your LAMS or Moodle database and reimport it into the instance of MySQL that you want to keep, creating the MySQL users for the particular application, and reconfiguring the particular application to use the new database. This way is a little more complicated but you don't lose your data stored in the database.

Let me know if you'd like further details on how to do this.

Hope this helps!
