mysql is not responsing on xampp

Question

I am using XAMPP server for my php/mysql projects. Today, when I tried to start apache and mysql, mysql failed to open saying "this may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, improper privileges...", and my phpmyadmin page says "#2002 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it."

I am nervous because I have an important database there and I cannot open it nor I have a backup of it. I am looking for your valuable comments.

p.s. I have installed Python version 2.7.6 yesterday. Can Python block the default mysql port 3306?

I am on windows 7 os

Nope. Python cannot block mysql. Have you tried to access mysql from the terminal? — Emmanuel John

Disabled any firewalls to see if that is the problem? Tried changing MySQL port from default in configuration? Tried starting the server with administrator privileges? — Devon Bessemer

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about server-related issues and would be a better fit for Server Fault. — Travesty3

use
