My MySQL Server Does Not Start – What Should I Do?

If your MySQL server isn't starting, follow these steps:

1. Stop the servers and close MAMP.
2. Check for running MySQL processes: Open Windows Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and look for any MySQL processes. If found, end them.
3. Restart MAMP and try starting the servers again.

If no MySQL processes are running and the issue persists, check the MySQL log file for details. You can find the log files here:

C:\MAMP\logs\
