title: Xampp Won't Startup MySQL server on Mac OSX?
body: <p>I'm on a Mac OSX Mountain Lion. Xampp won't let me start MySQL server.</p>
  
  <p>I have set the permissions to Read/Write for everyone and every file in the XAMPP folder.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MXxwF.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>
  
  <p>The error message shows "The operation couldn't be completed. (XAMPPErrorDomain error 1.)"</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to stop other MySQL processes. I have tried following this Lynda.com Tutorial on fixing port conflicts. I tried typing in this command "sudo lsof -i -P | grep 3306" in Terminal. </p>
  
  <p>However it didn't work, I wanted to test to see if MySQL is running however nothing returned. How can I check to see if any other versions are running, then stop any other MySQL servers/ Uninstall the other possible version?</p>
  
  <p>Here is the error Log Screenshot? Is that what you were looking for?
