What should I do if the phpstudy database cannot be started?

Solution to the problem that the database cannot be started in PHPStudy

When using PHPStudy, sometimes you may encounter the problem that the database cannot be started. Here are some common ways to solve this problem:

1. Check if the database service is started

• Open Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (macOS).
• Under the "Services" or "Processes" tab, look for the "MySQL" or "MariaDB" service.
• If the service is not running, right-click and select Start.

2. Check whether the port is occupied

• Open the command prompt or terminal.

• Enter the following command:

  <code>netstat -ano | findstr :3306</code>

• Navigate to the "Configuration Files" folder in the PHPStudy installation directory.
• Open the "mysql.ini" or "mariadb.ini" file (depending on the database engine you are using).

4. Reset database password

• If you forget your database password, you need to reset it.
• Right-click on the PHPStudy tray icon.
• Select "Control Panel".
• Under the "Tools" tab, click "Reset Password".
• Follow the prompts.

5. Repair the database
