MAMP Pro can't start MySQL

Question

I had to force a shutdown when my computer froze, and MAMP has been unable to start MySql since then. I have tried deleting the log files from MAMP/DB/mysql and restarting MAMP, but it hasn't worked. I also tried entering sudo killall -9 mysqld in the terminal, to no avail.

Here is the error log from MAMP:

2017-05-12 16:05:49 4691 [Note] InnoDB: The log sequence numbers 730255276 and 730255276 in ibdata files do not match the log sequence number 730624549 in the ib_logfiles!2017-05-12 16:05:49 4691 [Note] InnoDB: Database was not shutdown normally!

2017-05-12 16:05:50 4691 [ERROR] InnoDB: Attempted to open a previously opened tablespace. Previous tablespace mysql/slave_worker_info uses space ID: 5 at filepath: ./mysql/slave_worker_info.ibd.

2017-05-12 16:05:50 7fff7303b000  InnoDB: Operating system error number 2 in a file operation.
InnoDB: The error means the system cannot find the path specified.
InnoDB: If you are installing InnoDB, remember that you must create
InnoDB: directories yourself, InnoDB does not create them.
InnoDB: Error: could not open single-table tablespace file ./wordpress@0020test@0020site/wp_term_taxonomy.ibd
InnoDB: We do not continue the crash recovery, because the table may become
InnoDB: corrupt if we cannot apply the log records in the InnoDB log to it.
InnoDB: To fix the problem and start mysqld:
InnoDB: 1) If there is a permission problem in the file and mysqld cannot
InnoDB: open the file, you should modify the permissions.
InnoDB: 2) If the table is not needed, or you can restore it from a backup,
InnoDB: then you can remove the .ibd file, and InnoDB will do a normal
InnoDB: crash recovery and ignore that table.
InnoDB: 3) If the file system or the disk is broken, and you cannot remove
InnoDB: the .ibd file, you can set innodb_force_recovery > 0 in my.cnf
InnoDB: and force InnoDB to continue crash recovery here.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I've just had the same problem with MAMP .

To solve the problem, i was forced to delete the file that causes the error located in "Applications/MAMP/db/mysql56/bib" and then recreate the TABLE/BASE afterwards.

I hope that would be helpful.
