I’m on a Mac OSX Mountain Lion. Xampp won’t let me start MySQL server.

I have set the permissions to Read/Write for everyone and every file in the XAMPP folder.

enter image description here

The error message shows “The operation couldn’t be completed. (XAMPPErrorDomain error 1.)”

Any ideas on how to stop other MySQL processes. I have tried following this Lynda.com Tutorial on fixing port conflicts. I tried typing in this command “sudo lsof -i -P | grep 3306” in Terminal.

However it didn’t work, I wanted to test to see if MySQL is running however nothing returned. How can I check to see if any other versions are running, then stop any other MySQL servers/ Uninstall the other possible version?

Here is the error Log Screenshot? Is that what you were looking for?

    you can check if any instance of mysql is running by executing in the terminal

    sudo ps aux | grep mysql

    this will list any processes that have mysql in their name. 

    _mysql          18943   0,0  0,5  2514608  20340 s008  S+    5:46am   0:00.07   /opt/local/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/opt/local --datadir=/opt/local/var/db/mysql5 --  user=_mysql --log-error=/opt/local/var/db/mysql5/Max-NB.local.err --pid-  file=/opt/local/var/db/mysql5/Max-NB.local.pid
root            18900   0,0  0,1  2439964   2592 s008  S+    5:46am   0:00.15 /bin/sh   /opt/local/bin/mysqld_safe5
root            18899   0,0  0,1  2439396   2616 s008  S+    5:46am   0:00.02 sudo   mysqld_safe5

    you may then terminate the process by executing 

    sudo killall mysqld_safe5

    you should replace “mysqld_safe5” by the name of your mysql process. It is most likely “mysqld”.

    After that you could try to restart your server and check if it works.
