XAMPP Startup Error on Mac OS X Mojave

[stevenc]

I am running MacOS Mojave 10.14 with XAMPP 7.2.5

1. Earlier today, I tried to start up XAMPP after a crash/restart. XAMPP Manager was unable to start the MYSQL Server. Apache did start correctly.

2. Figuring there was a potential corruption, I used my Time Machine to restore my XAMPP folder in Applications.

3. Now when I try to rum XAMPP Manager, I get a "Cannot find any readable ctl script" error message.

4. I've tried to run MYSQL Server directly from CLI. I receive the following message:

Code: Select all

./mysql.server: line 200: my_print_defaults: command not found
Starting MariaDB
 ERROR! Couldn't find MariaDB server (/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysqld_safe)

Any thoughts on how to resolve these issues?

The issue has to do with a quirk in Time Machine - it does not completely regenerate all recorded folders/files; this must be done manually, in part. A bit of a pain.

I was able to run XAMPP from the command line:

Code: Select all

-> cd /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles
-> sudo ./xampp start

To check on MYSQL status:

Code: Select all

-> mysql status -u [username] -p [password]

To stop XAMPP:

Code: Select all

-> sudo ./xampp stop

Issue resolved
