Mamp won't start mysql server (mac)
<p>I had mamp up and running (wordpress) and was having no issues. Then suddenly the server went down, and hasn't started again. Their are some other threads about this topic, but I haven't been able to get it figured out. I have confirmed that there are no mysql processes going.... this is my mysql_error_log :</p>

InnoDB: The error means the system cannot find the path specified.

InnoDB: directories yourself, InnoDB does not create them.
InnoDB: Error: could not open single-table tablespace file ./wordpress/wp_term_taxonomy.ibd
InnoDB: We do not continue the crash recovery, because the table may become
InnoDB: corrupt if we cannot apply the log records in the InnoDB log to it.
InnoDB: To fix the problem and start mysqld:
InnoDB: 1) If there is a permission problem in the file and mysqld cannot
InnoDB: open the file, you should modify the permissions.
InnoDB: 2) If the table is not needed, or you can restore it from a backup,
InnoDB: then you can remove the .ibd file, and InnoDB will do a normal
InnoDB: crash recovery and ignore that table.
InnoDB: 3) If the file system or the disk is broken, and you cannot remove
InnoDB: the .ibd file, you can set innodb_force_recovery &gt; 0 in my.cnf
InnoDB: and force InnoDB to continue crash recovery here.
