Hi i have just installed XAMPP on my Mac OSX 10.5.8. When I use the XAMPP control, the MySQL server says that it wont start because their is another MySQL server running. I had previously installed MAMP but was having configuration problems so trashed it and downloaded XAMPP. I have turned web sharing off in system preferences and used spotlight to find other instances of MySQL but the only ones I can find are installed within the Adobe Creative Suite (ie Dreamweaver and Contribute and I wasnt sure whether they were part of the adobe program) and in XAMPP. I have rung apple support but they were unable to help me and suggested i contact you. Really appreciate any help given, thanks everyone.
