Starting mysql in xampp

I have recently reinstalled xampp and I'm getting this message 

    23:56:45  [mysql]   Attempting to start MySQL app...

I have removed and reinstalled it. Any further advice?

Another application may block the database port 3306 or maybe the folder for temporary files is missing or not writable. The latest version of xampp has a tool in the control center that lists the used ports. If you are using windows you should move the xammp folder to a location where there is no problem with writing files, try your documents folder for example.
