Why MySQL is not starting in WAMP?

Click on the XDebug client in the uwAmp control panel and choose “Remove MySql log.” Then, at the top of the control panel, try to start MySQL. It must function properly. Copy the lib folder to the UwAmp folder, but not just to the folder, but to the UwAmpbindatabasemysql-5.7 folder.

The wamp mysql not starting error indicates that the connection won’t establish and is not active for one of the following (or similar) reasons:

• There is no active MySQL server on the supplied host.
• TCP-IP connection to the MySQL server is not permitted. In the MySQL configuration file (my.ini on Windows, my.cnf on Unix/Linux), look for the ‘skip-networking’ parameter. It should be commented out, for example, ‘#skip-networking’. If it isn’t commented out, execute it and restart the MySQL server for the modification to take effect.
• A networking problem is preventing connectivity. It might be a network configuration issue or a firewall problem. After installing wamp, we must allow the service mysql on the Windows firewall and restart the computer. and begin wamp

Windows will ask if msqlnt.exe have the authorization to execute, and after approving it, everything will be good.  This should clear the wamp mysql not starting error.

When attempting to connect to a MySQL server at an ISP, this error message frequently indicates the presence of a restriction to direct access to MySQL. To connect, we must utilize HTTP-tunneling or SSH-tunneling.

Delete the following files from C:wampbinmysqlmysql5.6.17data:

auto.cnf, xxxxxxxxx.err, xxxxxxxxx.pid, ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1

However, we have to leave the ibdata1 alone as it refers to all of the local databases. Then I rebooted wamp, and everything worked well.

Look for the mysql-bin.index file and remove it before restarting MySQL.
