Here is how to solve this problem. Go to folder Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/. Find an unix executable file with name “xampp”. Open with your text editor. Find $XAMPP_ROOT/bin/mysql.server start > /dev/null & add unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on top of it. Save file. Restart your MySQL. It should look like : unset DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $XAMPP_ROOT/bin/mysql.server start > /dev/null & You can watch this video for more details 😉 Thanks for reading my blog. @ariffsetiawan → 162 readers Related Programming AppleApplicationMacBookMySQLProgrammingXAMPPYosemite
