title: MySQL Connection Refused on MAMP Pro
body: <p>I apologize if this is a duplicate, but so far I have not found any answers to this question. I recently installed MAMP Pro, and have been having some issues with MySQL. The display seems to indicate that the MySQL has started, but the port does not seem to be open.
  Here is some info about my laptop: <a href="http://puu.sh/5lxJU.png">http://puu.sh/5lxJU.png</a>
  Here is the display: <a href="http://puu.sh/5lxku.png">http://puu.sh/5lxku.png</a></p>
  
  <p>I ran a port scan on my computer and these are the results:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ nmap 127.0.0.1
  
  Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-11-17 18:06 EST
  Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)
  Host is up (0.0028s latency).
  Not shown: 498 closed ports, 498 filtered ports
  PORT     STATE SERVICE

  Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.61 seconds

  <p>It does not appear that MySQL is running. I have the port set to 3306. It does not look like there are any errors but here is the bottom of my error log anyway:</p>

  <p>I have already tried restarting my computer, is there anything else short of deleting everything and reinstalling MAMP Pro I can do?</p>
