Hi Sue,

Little I can do on this one as this seems to be a bug with MySQL prefpane. But can you give this a go? http://goo.gl/9uUt

Perhaps that might work?

Thanks,

Ernie

Hi, again!

Now I've installed XAMPP and started mySQL, but still can't install LAMS.

Just saying, mySQL server is not running...

Hmmm... the Mac OS X installer performs to pre-installation tasks to make sure whether LAMS is installed:

1) That MySQL is installed by checking whether the file /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql exists.

2) That MySQL is working by checking that the /tmp/mysql.sock file exists (see the two pics).

So, if you are sure that MySQL is running (thru XAMPP and all), you can trick the installer by just creating the two files that the installer checks manually. It really be any file.

Try that and let me know please.

Thanks,

Ernie
