Stuck in error 2 with mysql using XAMPP

Answer 1

Just create the missing folders C:\xampp\mysql\lib\plugin\ and it should work.

I had the same issue when creating new mysql users in PHPMyAdmin after downloading the XAMP 5.6.30 package. Creating the two missing empty folders worked for me.

Answer 2

I solved my problem inspired by the above answer. My error was "mysqld.exe: File '.\mysql-bin.000093' not found (Errcode: 2 "No such file or directory")"

So I post it here as a help anyone.

I disabled MySQL replication setup within my.ini file. If you've set any "bin.log" configuration, in this case, you should disable it get MySQL server up.
