I've been using Wamp without any problems. I've setup Xampp in the macbook without any problems.
The think is I always sync my data between two PC's, office and home. I use Google Drive to do it. To be easier I always disable INNODB for data corruption with Google Drive and so on...
Now I'm trying to sync the WAMP at my work PC with XAMPP at my Macbook Pro with Google Drive.
Everything works except with the database. When I set the datadir = /Users/myself/Drive/mysql, the mysql starts but the manager-osx keeps displaying the red icon as not started. So I can't also stop the mysql service, only with sudo killall mysqld or with the process ID. The most strange thing is that mysql is actually running, it only is not syncronizing with manager-osx, I can access my databases and all....
If I change the datadir to the default /Applications/..../xampfiles/var/mysql/ then it works normally. I've tryed to change the folder ownership, permissions, etc etc etc without success.
This is my error log from mysql:

If anyone have any idea....
If I change the datadir to the default the error log is exactly the same (different folders of course) but it syncs with manager-osX and in other folder dont really.
Also the Windows version of WAMP i'm running is 5.6.17 and in XAMPP it's the 5.6.25.
The same technique but using AMPPS worked perfectly. But I would prefer using XAMPP because it has less "junk"
Any help would be appreciated, it's my second day on a MAC so I'm not very comfortable...
