XAMPP Installation - MySQL shutdown unexpectedly I'm installing XAMPP on my machine. I'm following Derek Banas youtube tutorial, and I also tried myself, but I'm constantly running into the same issues. 

I have changed my Apache ports to 1234 (main), and 8181 (SSL) and MySQL ports to (3307). Apache runs fine, but when I run MySQL from the XAMPP control panel it get this error log.


  23:11:36  [mysql]  Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
  
  23:11:36  [mysql]  This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
  
  23:11:36  [mysql]  improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.

I have also deleted files from the MySQL folder in the xampp folder recommended in a previous stack overflow question https://stackoverflow.com/a/18162264/9182716

Also when trying to navigate to localhost phpmyadmin I'm prompted with this warning screen.

I had this problem too. If changing MySQL port doesn't solve the issue, which was my case. Simply copy the files in xampp/mysql/backup to xampp/mysql/data. Replace any conflicting files and leave the rest.
Then restart Apache and MySQL from the Xampp control panel.
This should solve the problem.
