title: MySQL Server on MAMP-Windows Will Not Start
body: <p>I am using MAMP 4.1 on Windows 10 and cannot get MySQL server to start. When I uninstalled MAMP and re-installed it MySQL server starts up, but when I stop it, it will not start back up. I also went into the \mamp\db\mysql\ and deleted the four log files hilited below. Then I turned the server off, then back on, but only Apache starts up, not MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>There is also a process running in services called MySQL80. When I try to start it I get the error message shown. I have tried many ways to delete it, including going to the command prompt and using "sc mysql80" and going to 'regedit'. MySQL80 does not show up anywhere so that I can delete it.</p>
  
  <p>Also, the Resource Monitor below shows that Apache is running on port 80, but nothing on port 3306. And yes, my MAMP Preferences are set to port 3306 for MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>When MySQL was running, I had 2 processes of 'mysqld' listening: one session on IPv6 Port 3306, and the other session on IPv4 Port 3306?</p>
  
  <p>What's wrong and how do I fix it?</p>
  
  <p>And, is there suppose to be (2) sessions of 'mysqld' both listening on port 3306 where one is on IPv6 and the other is on IPv4?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks Community.</p>
