Hi everyone i had mysql server running on 3306. I uninstalled that completely and installed XAMPP. Mysql was not running at the beginning, then I changed the port to 3307 in
I had faced thia problem too. Its easy to tackel this just go to taskmanager and then click on services (on the extreme right in the navigation bar of task manager) find where is mysql running with a PID and right click on it and stop it. When it shows stopped then goto your xampp control and start the mysql service. It worked for me hope it'll do so with you.
