Answer 1

This isn't easy to debug with the information here but the one error

2017-02-16T02:03:52.129737Z 0 [ERROR] Cannot open Windows EventLog; check privileges, or start server with --log_syslog=0

is really the issue here if you ask me.

I think your installation is having issues with permissions. Try running it as an administrator?

Answer 2

So, Since I could't fix easyPHP, I decided to reinstall. However, I still need to get my website back.

---- Disclaimer : this may not be a good practice or a very elegant solution, if you have anything better please let me know :) ----

Since I didn't back up the DB from PHPmyadmin, I tried the following :

1. Download EasyPHP (same version as before)
2. Install EasyPHP in program files (instead of program files (x86) )
3. Copy my wordpress folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1\eds-www\myWPfolder to C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1\eds-www\myWPfolder
4. Copy the BD from C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1\eds-binaries\dbserver\mysql5711x86x161008194102\data\myBDfolder to C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1\eds-binaries\dbserver\mysql5711x86x161008194102\data\myBDfolder 5 start Easy PHP from C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-Devserver-16.1 (so it is the new install)
5. Go in my browser and go to http://127.0.0.1/mywebsite

It works (so far)!
