Description

Xampp MySQL not starting - “Attempting to start MySQL service…” One of many reasons is xampp cannot start MySQL service by itself. Everything you need to do is run mySQL service manually. First, make sure that ' mysqld.exe' is not running, if have, end it. (go to Task Manager > Progresses Tab > right click 'mysqld.exe' > end task) Open your services.msc by Run (press 'Window + R') > services.msc or 0n your XAMPP ControlPanel, click 'Services' button. Find 'MySQL' service, right click and run it.

If you have MySQL already installed on your windows then go to services.msc file on your windows and right click the MySQL file and stop the service, now open your XAMPP and start MySQL.

I had this issue too. A little bit of investigating helped out though. I had a problem before this one, that 3306 was being used. So what I found out was that port 3306 was being used by another program. Specifically a JDBC program I was trying to learn and I had xammp installed before I tried this JDBC out. So I deleted the whole file and then here I am, where you're at. The issue was that my 'ImagePath'(registry variable) was changed upon installing mySql again. To put it simply, xammp doesn't know where your mysqld.exe is at anymore, or the file is not in the location that you told it to be. Here's how to fix it: 1. 2.

Open run (Win + r) and type 'regedit'. This is where you edit your registry. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Services > MySql

3.

Click on mySql and notice the ImagePath variable. Right click 'ImagePath' and click modify.

4.

Enter the location of your xammp mySqld file (navigate through xammp to find it) Although it is likely the same as mine....
