I downloaded XAMPP about a month ago and it worked fine. Today I installed voice recognition software and then restarted the computer. Since then, MySQL has not started in my manager-osx application. This does not throw me in the application log. Here is what he says:
Stopping all servers... Stopping Apache Web Server... /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd stopped Stopping ProFTPD... Checking syntax of configuration file /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/proftpd/scripts/ctl.sh : proftpd stopped Restarting all servers... Starting MySQL Database... Starting Apache Web Server... /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/scripts/ctl.sh : httpd started Starting ProFTPD... Checking syntax of configuration file /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/proftpd/scripts/ctl.sh : proftpd started
Both my ProFTPD and my Apache Web Server work. MySQL is not. When I switch to phpmyadmin, it causes this error message.
Please help me. I have no idea what to do.
UPDATE:
Having visited the Internet a bit, I found a similar problem with a user with MAMP, another user recommended killing the mysql process, whatever that means. Could this be a problem for my problem?
UPDATE 2:
I found the answer to my problem, but I can not answer yet. So here is the answer:
1) Open a terminal and enter
sudo su
and then enter your password
2) Then enter
ps aux | grep mysql
(just copy and paste this)
3) You will need to get the mysql process id. There should be a number near the top, something like 739 or 8827
4) Kill the process using
kill -9 {process id}
it should look something like this: kill -9 739
5) Restart MySQL in manager-osx
php mysql xampp macos
