Using MAMP and can’t get your MySQL server to start?

This problem comes up pretty often when I’m using MAMP for my local development environment and really frustrated me the first time it came up, so I’m going to share this fix with the world.

When your MySQL server won’t start, type this into the command line and try again (works like a charm):

killall -9 mysqld
