You may need to restart MySQL services from Services on the Windows server. While restarting service, you may receive error 1503. Due to this error, it does not restart the service properly.
How to resolve this problem:
Step1: Login into your VPS.
Step 2: Open the Task Manager and find the MySQL process (generally it is named as mysqld.exe or mysqld-nt.exe).
Step 3: Right-click on the MySQL process and click on End Task.
Step 4: Now go to Services and start the MySQL service.
Conclusion
Error 1503 usually occurs when the MySQL process is still running in the background and blocks the service from restarting. Ending the MySQL process from Task Manager and then starting the service from Services resolves the issue. This method avoids a full server reboot and restores MySQL quickly.
