Topic: MySQL will not start

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this issue but it's the best fit I could see in the index.

From the XAMPP Control Panel, when I click the MySQL button I get the message "Error: MySQL shutdown unexpectedly".

I am not aware of any power outages or systems issues.  The only change to the system was that I installed an Adobe suite; CS5.  When I discovered that MySQL would not start I uninstalled that suite, thinking that there might be some kind of conflict.  It did not help.  Any suggestions on courses of action to correct the issue would be appreciated.

Here are the log entries for MySQL for the numerous attempts I've tried today:

Re: MySQL will not start

I found a solution (create a new data file and populate it with files from backup and the original data file), so now XAMPP will start.  However, now when I attempt to log in to Front Accounting I get the message "Incorrect Password, The user and password combination is not valid for the system".

Re: MySQL will not start

2nd solution found:  I'm still not sure what happened to cause the issues I was having but I found that I just needed to do 3 things:
1- repair the 0_users table in the frontaccounting database, 2- repair the db table in the SQL database and 3- re-enter the ID and password associated with the frontaccounting database.
