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

In some cases it may possible that the MySQL is already running on 3306 port. So, you can change the port number with 3307.

P.S: If you are bound to use 3306 in that case I think you can stop existing MySql server and let MAMP to do it for you.
