XAMPP MySQL won't start on Mac Yosemite

Question

I have install XAMPP a long time ago and now MySQL won't start.

I already have this problem and I think I just added this line to XAMPP file in xamppfiles folder to start MySQL.

unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

When I try to start MySQL on the teminal, with:

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server start

I get an error:

ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file ( /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/MBP-de-IMYMY.pid ).

Yesterday, it stopped working when I opened the XAMPP manager. I did nothing and it stopped working.

Is there any solution?

Answer 1

There is a Solution:

Looking for some running mysql-processes:

sudo ps aux | grep mysql

It returns something like this:

root            13425   1,2  0,0  2432772   ...
_mysql           7545   0,0  0,1  2606424   ...
root              315   0,0  0,0  2434396   ...
root            13420   0,0  0,0  2434392   ...

Then kill them all by typing:

sudo kill -9 7545

Restart the MySql-Services again...
