Mysql server on MAMP won't start

Question

My Mysql server on MAMP won\'t start. This is the error:

161224 00:15:00 mysqld_safe Logging to \'/Applications/MAMP/logs/mysql_error_log.err\'. 16

Answer 1

Remove the files ib_logfileN (N being the number) from the MAMP/db/mysql56 folder.

Then restart MAMP.

Should Work!!

Edit: If the above step doesn't work completely, please remove the ibdata file as well, based on the comments.
