Unable to start database Mysql

[tomas]

It seems I restarted Windows without properly closing Uniform Server.. Now I can't start Mysql getting the error can't establish a database connection.  If I try to start php my admin I get the following errors

2002 -  — The server is not responding (or the local server's socket is not correctly configured).

mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): A connection cant be established since the end computer has denied that connection.

Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed.

mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): A connection cant be established since the end computer has denied that connection.

 

In ther past I had also a similar issue when making a copy of Uniform server folder without closing it which results in that the newly created uniform server returns this error as well. Let meknow if you need further info to debug.
