I’m encountering an issue where my MySQL server on XAMPP shuts down unexpectedly. The error message in the XAMPP control panel states Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
So far, I’ve tried:
- Restarting MySQL multiple times.
- Reviewing the error log, but I’m not sure how to interpret the warnings.
- Changing the port numbers in my.ini, but this hasn’t resolved the issue.
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

I have faced this problem before and it was because of i had installed mysql itself seperately from xampp before. maybe it is the same thing for you. maybe a mysql server is running in a background in your system.
if your using windows go to your
Services.msc
. for that presswindows+R
, typeServices.msc
then try to findmysql
and then righ-click on it and thenstop
.i hope it works.
I encountered this error to, and found a solution that worked for me, though i don’t know why it works nor what the cause of the error is.
