I was unable to get mySQL started in the control panel, and I received the following error: "Another mysql server is already running! xampp's mysql can not start while another mysql server is running. Please turn it off and try again".

In the reference post, it says go to the following: '/Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock', but I was unable to find "mysql.sock".
Also, I have to type in my admin password every time I make any changes to xampp control panel. How would I resolve this issue?
