If the MySQL server is not starting for XAMPP then it has nothing to do with phpBB.
XAMPP will sometimes not shut down the apache.exe and mysqld.exe processes correctly in which case the MySQL will not start. In windows open task manager and see if those process are running when the XAMPP control panel is not running and end task. Also end task for instance of xampp-control.exe.
You can also reboot your computer and try restarting it again. Go into the xampp folder and find xampp-control.exe, right click and under compatibility mode check "Run this program as administrator". This can help with the shut down issues.
Closing this, please start your own topic.
Thanks.
