I tried to start MySQL service but I have this error

Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

and this is the status of the MySQL service

killall -KILL mysql mysqld_safe mysqld

Check if there are any services working on the same port that Mysql using (default 8080)

To check if the service is running on same port (For windows),

Open cmd and hit below command

netstat -aon

It will show you active connections from all running applications on your system. Check if 8080 is already running by some other port or not.

If you don't want that program, you can kill the process by below command (Open cmd if it asks for administrative access). In my case PID number is 24456 for the running application.

taskkill /F /PID <PID_NUMBER>

Once your application port 8080 is free then you can install your MySQL services easily.

Another Approach:

You can change your port configuration to a different one, like changing the default port 8080 to 8081. Don't forget to update ports everywhere in your applications.
