How to stop XAMPP's MySQL Service after updating MariaDB

Question

I've updated my MariaDB to version 10.3.14 using this steps (link)
It has been successfully installed, but when I tried to stop the MySQL Service from XAMPP Control Panel, it won't stop.
The status always shows like this:

[mysql] Attempting to stop MySQL app...

Like the picture below:


How can I stop that?

Answer 1

You can kill the process operating on port 3306.

Type in CMD (Command Prompt) if you have windows:

netstat -ano | findstr :<yourPortNumber>

put your port number in the diamond brackets.

then put the process ID in diamond brackets,

taskkill /PID <typeyourPIDhere> /F

Answer 2

I also had this issue so for anyone looking for an answer to fix the panel rather than using taskkill from cmd here is why this is happening:

The XAMPP Control panel you have installed is 32bit, while upgrading your MariaDB by following this method you downloaded the 64bit MariaDb version. That is why the XAMPP panel will not stop the MySQL process.

Download the 32bit version of MariaDB and re-do the installation process and it should be all sorted.
