Answer 1

This works also for Mamp Pro 2.1.1 on Yosemite.

MAMP Folks just posted the workaround

Test Update: It works!

Answer 2

Just found workaround from MAMP on Twitter

Workaround for the 10.10 Preview 5 bug: Rename the file “envvars” located in into “_envvars”

Answer 3

I tried that solution and others over and over and did not work until I realised I should be restarting completely MAMP, after doing so, this simple change from envvars to _envvars worked like a charm.

You can completely restart MAMP checking if there's any process going on, open the terminal:

ps -cvx | grep "mysql"

That will output a list of the processes that involves mysql at the time, with a PDI associated, so you only have to take that number and:

kill PDI

Where PDI is the number associated to the process, after that, if you write again the command ps -cvx | grep "mysql" the pointer should be empty.

Once done, only execute MAMP.

Answer 4

Try this::

Rename the file “envvars” located in /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin into “_envvars” only for OS X Yosemite.
