Stop MAMP MySQL

Question

How do you end all MySQL processes? Or how to address this error? MAMP won't start the MySQL server.

120805 11:18:24 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
120805 11:18:24 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 8889 ?
120805 11:18:24 [ERROR] Aborting

Answer 1

You can shut Mysql down using the following command:

/Applications/MAMP/bin/stopMysql.sh

Answer 2

Killed process in Activity Monitor.

Answer 3

Edit the second line of MAMP/bin/start.sh by adding an initial # ...

# /bin/sh
#/Applications/MAMP/bin/startMysql.sh
/Applications/MAMP/bin/startApache.sh

then when MAMP starts, MySQL will not, only Apache.
