Hello,
it has been 24 hours since I just installed a MySQL server and there was a port conflict because XAMPP was also using port 3306 for its MySQL and MySQL server was using it too. The problem is that when I try to start XAMPP and I click on start MySQL, it says "attempting to start MySQL" and a pop-up window asks for confirmation. After that, I uninstalled MySQL server to test if it works, but the problem persists telling me that MySQL server is using port 3306. To get rid of MySQL Server, I deleted a MySQL folder that was located in C:\Program Files (x86). But this deletion task did not work. To force the deletion, I stopped the MySQL service in services.msc. After stopping, the deletion was successful, the MySQL folder is deleted. Anyway, now the problem is that I have reinstalled XAMPP and MySQL does not start. I tried to start the MySQL service in services.msc, but it says that Windows could not start the MySQL service on the local computer with an error: the specified path was not found. If you really have any idea or if someone has encountered this kind of problem, I need your help. Thank you.

Hello,
it's not XAMPP but WAMP, a topic on their forum that can guide you on the issue:

Otherwise, check the event viewer.

Hello,
The simplest solution would have been to change the MySQL listening port (on XAMPP).
Instead of using 3306... you can use another one... for example, 3456...
To do this, open the my.cnf file and look for the line:port = 3360
and replace it with:port = 3456
Then restart XAMPP... and it should work.
