title: ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mymbp.pid)
body: <p>I get this ERROR when I try to start the mysql server with command line. I have been all over here looking for a solution but it seems everyone is different. I started mysql by using this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin
  ./mysql.server start
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>These commands worked fine while I was at my school, but when I try these exact same commands at my home I get the error mentioned. Any ideas?</p>
