'MySQL shutdown unexpectedly on XAMPP - Server socket created on IP: '::'

I'm still fairly new to XAMPP and it has been running great until I started work this morning. Here is the error log file information. When I try to start MySQL it turns on and then stops. I'd prefer to not reinstall if needed but can if that's what it takes.

And here is the my.ini file.

# Example MySQL config file for small systems.
#
# This is for a system with little memory (<= 64M) where MySQL is only used
# from time to time and it's important that the mysqld daemon
# doesn't use much resources.
#
# You can copy this file to
# C:/xampp/mysql/bin/my.cnf to set global options,
# mysql-data-dir/my.cnf to set server-specific options (in this
# installation this directory is C:/xampp/mysql/data) or
# ~/.my.cnf to set user-specific options.
#
# In this file, you can use all long options that a program supports.
# If you want to know which options a program supports, run the program
# with the "--help" option.

# The following options will be passed to all MySQL clients
[client]
# password       = your_password 
port=3307
socket="C:/xampp/mysql/mysql.sock"


# Here follows entries for some specific programs 

# The MySQL server

Caution! Please do NOT delete ibdata1 file! First take backup MySQL of folder 'mysql/data'

  1. Take backup all files+folder from folder mysql/data to mysql/data_old_backup

  2. Sometime XAMPP MySQL service stopped working, in my case reason in XAMPP control panel: "Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly" with the same error log

Solution:

  1. I have fixed the same issue, copy (+overwrite) all files+folder from xampp/mysql/backup/ into xampp/mysql/data/
  2. You may lost your Mysql root password after step-1, your mysql password is null now.
  3. Now, Copy (+overwrite) file ibdata1 from backup folder from "mysql/data_old_backup/ibdata1" to xampp/mysql/data/
    (because you want to restore all your data)
  4. Start MySQL from XAMPP control panel.

It should work
