Today, When I tried to create a website on my localhost, I had to create a database. So, I opened phpMyAdmin on my localhost, but it didn't open. It showed me some error correction messages. Then, I checked my XAMPP window, and I saw that MySQL was stopped. I tried many times, but it stopped repeatedly. I don't know why this happened today. mysql error

    I'm sorry, but you are asking in the wrong place. You are using MySQL, a product owned by Oracle, and you are asking in a Microsoft forum and you had labelled your question SQL Server Database Engine. Microsoft SQL Server is completely different product from MySQL. You will need to exercise your Google skills to find a forum where they discuss MySQL.

    I should add that Microsoft is involved with MySQL so far that they provide MySQL as a cloud service in Azure, and if you were having problems with that service, this forum is the place to ask, provided that you use the correct tag, Azure Database for MySQL. But since you are using MySQL locally, this is not applicable here.
