MySQL Server Shutting Down Unexpectedly on XAMPP

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 press windows+R, type Services.msc then try to find mysql and then righ-click on it and then stop.
    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.

    1. Go to xampp root
    2. Mysql
    3. Data
    4. Rename any and all files starting with ‘ib_logfile’.

    I found the solution on this site
