What could be the problem of my mysql database server in WAMP.

I can\'t open it. The error says:

MySQL sai         


        

Answer 1

This works:

1. Stop the MySQL service
2. Open data folder
3. Remove both ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1
4. Restart the service

Answer 2

Go to your MySQL directory and find mysql-bin.index then clear its content. Everything should work fine after that.

i had the same problem and these step worked for me

1. open services
2. stop MySQL[version] service
3. open mysql properties
4. if you did a manual install of MySQL (ie not using xampp wamp etc.) then you may want to change startup type to automatic
5. go to the log in tab
6. select local system account
7. press ok
8. start the service again

Answer 5

I installed MySQL stand-alone (not using any XAMPP/WAMP stack) and got this problem some time ago. I just ran the following command in windows command prompt:

C:\>"C:\mysql\bin\mysqld" --console

where "C:\mysql\" is the installation directory (adjust the path according to your own case). The

  --console

displays the process for debugging purposes.

After startup, you should see something like:

C:\mysql\bin\mysqld: ready for connections
Version: '5.7.10'  socket: ''  port: 3306

Answer 6

I know it is a quite old question. But given that I have faced the same issue the other day as of 2017, which really freaked me out. I thought this may help some people.

I'm assuming you faced the issue possibly because of a recent update of the database.

If that's the case, please simply do the following three steps:

1. Disconnect from your internet.
2. Access your MySQL offline as usual.
3. Once you have logged in MySQL, you can reconnect to the Internet.

Everything should work just fine.
