my MySQL Database on XAMPP 7.1.7 is not running anymore. I tried numerous solutions proposed in this post MySQL Database won't start in XAMPP Manager-osx but with no luck so far. Here's what I’ve tried:
- sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server start -> Terminal simply states „ERROR!“
- sudo killall mysqld -> Terminal states „No matching processes were found“
- changing the MySQL port from 3306 to 3307 in the XAMPP Control Panel -> no change
- killing all active mysql processes in Monitor Activity tool -> couldn’t find any active processes named „mysql“ or „sql“
Clearly I don’t know what the problem and it feels I’m just randomly trying out every solution I stumple upon.
So I am posting below my log files from xamppfiles/var/mysql/[mycomputername].home.err. Maybe there's an indication in here of what the problem might be?

InnoDB only wrote those files full of zeros, but did not yet use them in any way. But be careful: do not remove old data files which contain your precious data!
