MySQL won't start on xampp (Windows) - php

This problem started when I didn't properly hibernate my laptop. Every time I open xampp, I can't start MySQL. I searched for online answers but nothing happened. I tried changing the port from 3306 to 3307 to 80, still nothing happened.
So I uninstalled xampp and install it again. After installing, I tried to start Apache and MySQL. Worked fine with Apache but on MySQL, I got this error log:
4:52:15 PM [mysql] Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
4:52:15 PM [mysql] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
4:52:15 PM [mysql] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

It's usually because of Skype (or any other program that uses MySql port). Go to Skype Options > Advanced > Connection type in alternative port (e.g. 42795) and uncheck "Use port 80 and 443..."

Solution:
Stop the Apache Service, then
Copy all files from xampp\mysql\backup, and paste all files inside xampp\mysql\data.
Start Apache
...and MySQL is working perfectly.
I faced the same problem.

But it didn't work even after copying all files from xampp\mysql\backup, and pasting them inside xampp\mysql\data Or when I deleted ibdata1 file.
So, I went through this link.
Free the port number
Stop your Apache module in xampp control panel.
Open command prompt and Run as Administrator
Type “netstat -ano” in the cmd prompt. This will show all the port connections in your network.
netstat -ano
Now find your port number and use it in the find string. In my case, it is 3306.
Type “netstat -ano | findstr 3306” in cmd prompt and hit enter.
netstat -ano | findstr 3306
Find the listening id of 3306. In my case, 5224 is my listening id.
Kill that process id with “taskkill /PID 6204 /F“.
taskkill /PID 5224 /F
SUCCESS: The process with PID 5224 has been terminated. will be the output.
Restart the xampp Server.
And it worked!

We could use this information to help you out.
Possibilties:
incorect config - try to restore some known good config blocked port - quite often its skype(especially older versions of skype), try changing MySQL port

XAMPP is not start Apache, MySQL is working fine

I was working on my PHP project yesterday and it was working fine, but today morning after the restart XAMPP is not starting Apache for some reason. Can someone suggest how can I work around it:

Shutdown Skype or Teamviewer, if you have them installed.
They use port 80, like Apache.
you can check which port is being used by which program using 3 methods
i) Open cmd and type netstat -b -a
ii) Use currports http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html
iii)Use TCPView https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx
Then you can change port for that program.
If still you are unable to solve it you can uninstall the program and check.
Or you can change your apache port from 80 to 8080. but then you have to use localhost:8080. Remember to restart apache.

You have something else on your machine using port 80, the same one Apache is trying to use. You have two choices:
Stop the other service using port 80.
Give Apache a different port number (like 8080) in the XAMPP application.
As you can see
6:26:05 PM [Apache] Status change detected: stopped
Apache is not running, so the error you see on the screen is not related to mysql, but to Apache. Go into the configuration panel of xampp and change ports, some software like Skype use 433 port (web ssl), so then Apache couldn't start.
You can change the port with, for example, 8080.
Then, go to http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin
And you're done.
