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

other way that might fix the same problem :

-go in the folder MAMP/db/mysql/ – delete all files that IS NOT A FOLDER (files like ‘mysql-bin.XXXXXX’ / ‘mysql-bin.index’/ ‘ibdata1’ / ‘ib_logfileX’

don’t worry, this doesn’t erase any of your database, but make sure you don’t delete the folders. That’s where the data of your databases are stored.
