I have a MBP, installed MAMP, and I find that phpMyADMIN works fine.
I am also able to create websites and browse to them locally.
but now I am trying to do a DRUPAL install locally
I am able to get to the install screen of the DRUPAL system. but I can not get the DB SETUP
I am getting this error:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i ran this command from shell:
ps aux|grep mysql
and I get this:
