Answer 1

This solved my problem with mysqld and apache on XAMPP:

As you can see, Yosemite DP 5 changes a few things in its library. Probably if you’re running XAMPP server on DP5 it won’t start mysqld (MySQL database daemon).

What you should do?.

STEP 1 . Download Homebrew. Open your terminal and then type: . . . ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

STEP 2: . Download LIBICONV, you have to type the following lines at terminal: . . . brew install libiconv . . . brew link libiconv —force

STEP 3 . Download SQLITE3, you have to type the following lines at terminal: . . . brew install sqlite3 . . . brew link sqlite3 —force

STEP 4 . Go to Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib and then delete the following files (remember to empty your trash). . . . libsqlite3.dylib (it is an ALIAS) . . . libsqlite3.0.8.6.dylib . . . libiconv.2.dylib . . . libiconv (it is an ALIAS).

STEP 5 .Restart you “manager-osx.app” then try to turn on your mysql database.

Answer 2

Had same issue today (running last version of Yosemite preview), Apache of XAMPP for OSX didn't work / start. Apache's log files contained no errors.

Finally I've solved this issue by removing XAMPP for OSX and installing latest version of AMPPS (http://www.ampps.com/downloads).

I don't know what's the different or what's the initial problem causing this behaviour - but with AMPPS everything just runs fine.

Hopefully this will work also for you.

I've found this video. This works for me.

Go to MAMP in Applications

then, bin > apache2 > bin and rename 'envvars' to '_envvars'

Answer 4

Per the Knowledge Base at MAMP for "Apache will not start - Yosemite Beta":

Rename the file envvars located in /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin into _envvars

Answer 5

You can also try this workaround posted at http://community.bitnami.com/t/mysqld-doesnt-start-in-mac-os-yosemite/25153

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp

Look for:

$XAMPP_ROOT/bin/mysql.server start > /dev/null &

And add unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on top of it. It should look like:

unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
$XAMPP_ROOT/bin/mysql.server start > /dev/null &

I hope it helps

Answer 6

I have resolved the situation by changing the default Port of Apache 2.4 updated after upgrading to MAC OS Yosemite.

The file is located in: /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Change Listen 80 to Listen 8080

Restart your MAC, and try to launch again MAMP Services.
