Answer 2

If these commands don't work for you:

sudo killall mysqld
sudo /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server start

Try this:

For XAMPP 7.1.1-0, I changed the port number from 3306 to 3307.

1. Click on Manage Servers
2. Select MySQL Database
3. Click on Configure on your right
4. Change your port number to 3307
5. Click OK
6. Close your Control Panel and relaunch it.

You are now good to go.

Answer 4

on

macOs High Sierra

if mysql is not getting started from manager- oxs and have tried direct command i.e

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/bin/mysql.server start

too than go to path edit

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/

find file :

my.cnf

edit it

under the [mysqld] section, add following line:

innodb_force_recovery = 1

after it save and run or can be done from manager-osx

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/bin/mysql.server start

it should start the mysql.

once its run you need to again edit the

my.cnf

file and remove the line just added

innodb_force_recovery = 1

stop and start mysql again. by command

sudo /Applications/XAMPP/bin/mysql.server start 

or by manager-osx

it will be working fine.

Answer 5

I encountered this problem just now. I checked log file and found it is caused by the server was not shutdown correctly. So I found this http://rivenlinux.info/how-to-recover-innodb-corruption-for-mysql/ and add a simple configuration "innodb_force_recovery = 1" in [mysqld] in my.cnf. Then the problem was solved.

The log file is located /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql and it named accroding to your server name. Just link this XXX-MacBook-Pro.local.err
