Answer 1

OP question was about MAMP.

I had this issue after installing OSX Yosemite and fixing the envvars to _envvars in the bin/apache2/bin folder.

Then I was getting this socket error. So I checked the error logs for mysql and noticed this:

InnoDB: Unable to lock ./ibdata1, error: 35 InnoDB: Check that you do not already have another mysqld process

gee I love error logs.

I found the process mysqld in Activity Monitor and killed it. Restarted MAMP and bingo! It all seems to hook up now!

Just to add to this thread, for those running Bitnami MAMP I had the same issue when upgrading to Yosemite (Mampstack-5.4.28-0). I solved it by going to

Applications/Mampstack-(your version)/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh

and adding the following

MYSQL_PIDFILE = ....

unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH <==== Add this

MYSQL_START = ....

MYSQL spun like silk. Hope this helps someone with the same problem.

Answer 3

I have had the same issue and none of the above worked.

The Apache server in MAMP wouldn't work on port 80, or 8080 (The default Apache ports). The issue is with Apache being enabled by default in Yosemite.

Either: change the Apache port in MAMP (Not preferable if you want to use the default port), or unload the launch Daemon by typing the following into the terminal:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.httpd.plist

I still needed to use envars so I was able to work around this by removing the following from the file. Found some errors when launching through terminal related to this

if test "x$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH" != "x" ; then
  DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"
else
  DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/lib"
fi
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

I fixed this by uninstalling XAMMP and reinstalling. If you go with this approach make sure to back up any content you may have saved in the XAMPP folder.

Answer 6

Edit the below file, with this command on Terminal.app:

sudo vim /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/mysql/scripts/ctl.sh

On line #59, delete this:

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp startmysql > /dev/null &

and put this

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server start > /dev/null &

(save the file: ESC :wq!)

Restart All Servers on XAMPP.app (manager-osx)
