Hi,
I downloaded and installed XAMP, and everything seems to be up and running except MySQL won't start. When I click start it just says:
MySQL did not start!
Please take a look into the log file of MySQL for informations on why MySQL did not start.
But - I don't know where this log file is. When I open the errorlog there doesn't appear to be anything related to MySQL:

Previously I tried running MAMP and also had a problem with MySQL, this is the error I got with that one if it helps/could be the same problem:
091220 10:39:15 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.pid ended

Thank you!
