Wampserver icon not going green fully mysql services not starting up

Question

I m running an application on localhost  it s been running successfully for at least a year now  but suddenly today wampserver isn t starting up  Whenever I rightclick on the taskbar icon and  start all services   it gets orange  but never green  Yesterday there was a data loss problem because one of the mysql tables crashed and had to be repaired  if that s related to this in any way   If I try http   localhost phpmyadmin  I get a 403 Forbidden error  which I never got before   I checked the apache log today and its latest entries are    Sat Jul 20 14 17 31 2013   error   client 127 0 0 1

3306  and it had  anyway noone changed it in a year how could it suddenly have another value   Any help please  I think Apache is working because when I type in http   localhost  it works and gives the option to go to phpmyadmin or my application folder  but it appears mysql services aren t starting up or something  I confirmed with the admin and no new software  such as Skype  have been installed or anything    Update  I went to Services msc and checked wampapache   the status was  started   But wampmysqld had no status  So I right-clicked and chose  Start   A message said  Windows is attempting to start the service on the local computer   but then I got this  error    Windows could not start the wampmysqld service on Local Computer Error 1067  The process terminated unexpectedly   What on earth is up      Update 2  I got the mysql working again  here   mysqld working but wampmysqld not starting up  HowEVER  localhost   phpmyadmin still gives me a 403 forbidden error  and mysql connect keeps giving me an  Access denied  error

This happened to me today  Since I had not changed my system setting since yesterday  I assumed it s predominantly a mysql issue on the system  I managed to fix it in the following way    Open wampserver s mysql log file  This will contain information on why the service threw and error and exited prematurely  In my case  the mysql service failed to start because it could not read a certain tablespace  The specific tablespace was indicated in the log   Failure to read such a file could be because of file permissions or the file being broken  In such a case  mysql stops executing in order to avoid damaging a tablespace file that may be linked to a database you need  Usually  if you have a backup of the database  then it is safe to simply delete this problematic file and restore the database once your mysql service is started again  If you do not have a database backup then you could force the mysql instance to run a recovery by enabling the option in your my cnf   my ini file    innodb force recovery   1   This forces the instance to run the crash recovery   NOTE  installing a new instance of mysql does not necessarily mean that your databases shall be retained  I suggest you run a nightly backup of your databases if you are working on huge projects

I had the same probelm for the past 3 days  Try this  It will definitely work   BEFORE proceeding with the installation of Wampserver  you must ensure that certain elements are installed on your system  otherwise Wampserver will absolutely not run  and in addition  the installation will be faulty and you will need to remove Wampserver BEFORE installing the elements that were missing  Uninstall wamp and download and Install microsoft visual c   redistributable 2008  https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 29   microsoft visual c   redistributable 2012  https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 30679   microsoft visual c   redistributable 2015  https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 48145   Now  reinstall wamp and it should work fine

Basically this happens when you have  not installed pre required software installed on your machine while installing Wampserver you might have got error bellow error at the time of installation  program can t start because msvcr120 dll is missing OR  program can t start because msvcr120 dll is missing   If you fixed those issue after the installation of wampserver then you might get stuck at this problem  Then You can simply uninstall and install wamp server again And If you have not install pre required dependency then first of all uninstall wampserver   And then install pre requirement first and then finally you can install Wampserver and it should work now  you can download Pre-required applications from following link For x64 Machines microsoft visual c   2010 redistributable package  x64  https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 14632 Visual C   Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 30679 Visual C   Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 40784 Visual C   Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 48145 For x86 Machines Microsoft Visual C   2010 Redistributable Package  x86  https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 14632 Visual C   Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 30679 Visual C   Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 40784 Visual C   Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 https   www microsoft com en-in download details aspx id 48145  Note - Take backup of your project files before uninstall

simplest this to do is find what other service is using the same service id as mysql does in windows   When i looked through the list of services running on my pc  even after a restart   i still had the problem   I quickly realised i had webmatrix installed on my computer previous to wamp server   webmatrix installed its own copy of mysql and set it to automatically startup another instance each time i logged in    As soon as the other instance of mysql associated with web matrix was stopped  and changed from automatic startup to manual  my problem with WAMP mysql was solved
