i was facing the same issue and none of the solutions stated above helped me. i went to the mysql configuration file (my.ini) and changed the port number under [mysqld].By default mysql runs on 3306 port.

port= 3306

i changed it to ,

port= 8111

Then run as Administrator.Finally this worked for me.
