This article describes the process of resolving the following MySQL® for Windows® error:
MySQL service on local computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.The solution varies depending on your version of MySQL. Attempt the solutions in the order of the following sections.
Restart the service
Restart the MySQL service by running the following command:
mysqld --initializeYou need to log in as root or use sudo -i to run this command.
Reinstall the service
Log in as root and reinstall the MySQL service by running the following commands:
mysqld --install mysqld --initializeVerify the my.ini config file
Certain versions of MySQL add invalid hex values at the beginning of the my.ini configuration file. Deleting the first three hex values using a hex editor should resolve this issue. This occurs because of an issue with a script line. The line specifies that each file must have a unique ID, which then appends the byte order to mark the text file.
If you have a backup of the original my.ini file, you can copy the contents of this file and manually paste them onto the current my.ini to resolve this issue.
