The title says it all. I ran the auto updater and since then everything has been screwed up.
I can start mysql, but I have to kill the mysqld process to get it to stop.
When I try to visit a local wordpress installation setup through ampps admin, all I see is my PHP rendered as plain text to the browser, terminating with a fatal error "a php function is undefined"..

2.3 auto updated & fresh reinstall - mysql wont stop, php won't parse
