It seems I can no longer access my Joomla project, because MySQL no longer works for me in Xampp.
What do I do to mend this? I tried changing port in the config file, but that didn't do anything.
I don't want to lose my data, so I thought I'd ask the pros on here before I try anything else.

Thanks in advance!

It's an ongoing issue... see this thread:

There's a potential solution which requires creating a new data folder using folders and files from the backup folder located in:
C:\xampp\mysql
