XAMPP MySQL suddenly doesnt work anymore

Question

It was working fine for month. But today i wanna start working and cant connect to MySQL anymore.

Im using XAMPP 1.7.7 on Windows 7

XAMPP Control Panel says MySQL is "Running" and shows "Mysql started [Port 3306]"
But when i go to localhost and click status, it shows "MySQL database Deactivated"
When i go to phpmyadmin it shows: "2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)"

Also mysql_error.log file at C:\xampp\mysql\data shows no errors?

Any ideas? :(

The question is old, but I have just had the same issue so I will write my solution.

It could be a problem with Xampp. Try to uninstall and install again. But before, you can try also something that worked for me, namely run the file:

C:\xampp\mysql\resetroot.bat
