Cannot start MySql in Xampp

I am trying to get XAMPP Control panel working but MySql refuses to run
I click Start and after about 5 seconds it stops.

Can anyone please say what I need to do to get this running ?

I have stooped IIS Services

Many Thanks
John

Thanks Jason
If I select XAMPP Set Up I get a box "Missing Shortcut"

Windows is search for xampp_setup.bat but cannot seem to find it.

However in C:\xampp I can see setup_xampp.bat and uninstall_xampp.bat seems its looking for the wrong file name.

I have made some progress. I installed xampp and DW on a different machine and now xampp appears to be working OK.
If I select Status from the xampp menu all appears activated except IPv6.

However if I try to run a page from F12 in DW I get the following error.

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

Can anyone please see where I am wrong?

I attach an image which I hope illustrates the situation.

Thanks
John

After reading a number of web articles I am confused where localhost is set up.

Can anyone plase advise?
Thanks
John

I think I have sussed where local host is in my case for this test its at C:\xampp\htdocs\FB_PHP
and index.php is opening correctly.
Perhaps I can make some more progress now!
