How to start mysql service while using xampp?

To start the MySQL service while using XAMPP, follow these steps:

1. Open the XAMPP Control Panel. This can be done by navigating to the XAMPP installation directory (usually C:/xampp) and running "xampp-control.exe".
2. In the XAMPP Control Panel, you will see a list of services (Apache, MySQL, FileZilla, etc.). Look for the "MySQL" service and click on the "Start" button next to it.
3. The MySQL service should start running. You can check if it has started successfully by looking at the status indicator next to the MySQL service. If it is green, the service is running.
4. You can also open a web browser and navigate to "http://localhost/phpmyadmin" to access the phpMyAdmin interface, which is a web-based tool for managing MySQL databases. If you can access phpMyAdmin, it means that the MySQL service is running properly.

That's it! You have successfully started the MySQL service while using XAMPP.
