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

Jmeyer, on occasion MAMP will do strange things like refuse to restart. When this happens, go to the MAMP application and click "preferences" and then just click "Ok."

For some reason this forces a restart of the MAMP server.

Not sure if that's what you were looking for, but a helpful tip nonetheless.
