    My question is similar to this. But none of the posted solutions worked.
    my.ini file is pasted here. 'mysql.log' is pasted here.

    The problem seems to be caused for no reason. I don't remember changing anything specifically.
    Apache runs fine. I'm on windows 7 x64.

    Most interestingly, mysql.exe runs just fine. No password is on. mysqld.exe doesn't run
    (running it through console will just cause an infinite delay)

    What I've tried

    • Turning off Firewall
    • Checking port 3306 to be open
    • Checking running services for other instances of MySQL
    • Checking for other installed versions of MySQL
    • Changing password in my.ini
    • Running wampserver as administrator
    • Disabling SQL Server services
    • Uncommenting 'skip-networking' option
    • Switching my computer's networking mode to DMZ (just in case if router firewall issue)
    • Googling and trying every other suggested solution
    • Re-installing wampserver
    • Restarting PC

    I don't know what to do anymore. Anyone has a solution?

    there was no such socket file in my temp folder :/ I've edited the post and added the log file (it has some stuff about InnoDB...)

    YES THANK YOU! IT WORKS NOW! I can't believe it was as simple as that. Please move it to your answer for future reference.
