MAMP : Mysql won't turn on

Question

My mamp mysql server won\'t turn on. I tried executing /Applications/MAMP/bin/startMysql.sh but that gave me this error :

101110 05:50:31 mysqld_safe

Answer 1

This command worked for me.

     ps aux | grep mysql 
     lsof -i 
     killall -9 mysqld

if needed

    sudo killall -9 mysqld
