Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly.
3:37:14 PM [mysql] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies,
3:37:14 PM [mysql] improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
3:37:14 PM [mysql] Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
3:37:14 PM [mysql] the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
3:37:14 PM [mysql] If you need more help, copy and post this
3:37:14 PM [mysql] entire log window on the forums

to sort this problem,
1. click on the config button on the mysql port and select my.ini
2. scroll down to the mysqld and change the port to 3308 and close the notepad page.
3. go to your localdrive location and search for the xampp file, then sellect the phpmyadmin, select config.inc.php and open with notepad again
4. scroll down to the section with "/* Bind to the localhost ipv4 address and tcp */" and copy this code "$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';"
5. paste it just beneath the code but change the connect type to port and tcp to 3308.
6. save and close the file
7. go back to the xampp control panel and click on start on the mysql again and it should connect through.
