[php] "Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly" when trying to start MySQL

I'm using Windows 7 and running XAMPP MySQL SVC service. I'm seeing the following error:

Windows could not start the Mysql service on Local Computer.

Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly.

What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

You need to:

1. stop the MySQL service:
2. Open mysql path\data
3. Remove both ib_logfile0 and ib_logfile1.
4. Restart the service
