I've tried to open Services and start MySQL service but it doesn't let me do that for some reason. I've googled the error and it said to do something like $ mysqld --install $ mysqld --initialize Please Help.

  • Did you check that some program is not using the port ? do you have skype installed ? Check that a particular program is not using the mysql port, most likely a recent installation. – Nicholas Mberev Aug 21 '21 at 15:15
  • Find and read the error log from mysql. It will say why it didn't start. – erik258 Aug 21 '21 at 15:16
  • @NicholasMberev I do not have Skype installed. I used this `netstat -ano -p tcp` to find out which ports are being used and the port 3306 was not in use which is the port that MySQL uses. I saw something saying that if you don't have the `my.ini` file in the data or bin folder I need to add it. I added it but it was empty. I don't know if I should have pasted anything into it or not. – Nick Golitsyn Aug 21 '21 at 17:21
  • I am perceiving that you have some corrupted installation of xampp ???? If so, then you need to back up your data and install a new clean version of it directly from apachefriends.org – Nicholas Mberev Aug 21 '21 at 19:01

  • @NicholasMberev I've reinstalled XAMPP, still nothing is working Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly. 10:52:00 PM [mysql] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 10:52:00 PM [mysql] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method. 10:52:00 PM [mysql] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check 10:52:00 PM [mysql] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues 10:52:00 PM [mysql] If you need more help, copy and post this 10:52:00 PM [mysql] entire log window on the forums – Nick Golitsyn Aug 21 '21 at 19:52
