Changed ip now cannot start MySql

I have a public virtual machine that I had to change the ip address now I cannot get MySql to start.

The event viewer shows these message:

Server hostname (bind-address): 'xxx.xxx.xxx.249'; port: 3306

Then I get these 3 errors:

Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: No such file or directory

Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?

Faulting application name: mysqld.exe, version: 5.5.42.0, time stamp: 0x54ac4a9a
Faulting module name: mysqld.exe, version: 5.5.42.0, time stamp: 0x54ac4a9a

I noticed that in the my.ini that it had the client and server bound to 3306:

[client]

port=3306

[mysql]

default-character-set=utf8

# SERVER SECTION
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# The following options will be read by the MySQL Server. Make sure that
# you have installed the server correctly (see above) so it reads this 
# file.
#
[mysqld]

# The TCP/IP Port the MySQL Server will listen on
port=3306

I wasn't sure if this was right but I did not change it.

I did do a netstat -an but I do not show anything on port 3306.

I have restarted the server to verify it wasn't already resolved.

What else should I check? I didn't think changing an ip address would have this big of a consequence on MySql.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I found the answer here:

https://serverfault.com/questions/35637/mysql-dying-on-startup

This is what I did and it worked for those in need later:

I had this error after running out of harddisk space. I finally solved it by deleting ib*.tmp files from C:\Windows\temp which were causing the startup to fail, even for data directories that were previously working.

If you cannot find the temp directory, show hidden folders.
