MAMP hang after OSX unclean shutdown
by Mats Hellman on Nov.26, 2009, under Apple, Mac OSX
Today we had a power outage and after a few hours when power finally came back on I tried to get my development tools up again, everything was fine except for MAMP. It seems MAMP isn’t able to delete it’s PID files after something like this so it just flashed and shut down. This is because it thinks it’s already running even if it’s not.
Anyway, MAMP uses it’s own Application folder to store the pid files and the fix for this is really simple. Open your terminal and
iMac:~ rm httpd.pid
iMac:~ cd /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql
iMac:~ rm mysql.pid
After deleting the PID files MAMP should start just fine again.
