MySQL(XAMPP) won't start

Question

I am using XAMPP for php and mySQL. After a restart the mySQL won't start with this error:

[ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: No such file or directory

[ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?

[ERROR] Aborting

I haven't installed any other db system, I verified and no mysqld process or service is running and i ran a netstat and the port 3306 is not used or blocked. I even tried to change the port into 3307 but no result.

Answer 1

It seams that the problem was the fact that i am using a dynamic IP address on my PC and I bound the address in the config file.
