i had the same issue using xampp 1.7.2a. things seem a bit flaky with xampp. i did run the shell script to fix moodle permissions as per the official moodle4mac package download.
to stop mysql, run the following command in terminal
sudo /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/xampp stopmysql
then type your mac admin password.
if that doesnt work, a computer restart will do the trick.
Cheers, Chad
Re: XAMPP's MySQL can not start while another mysql server is running. Please turn it off and try again.
