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
