'MAMP (PRO) can not be installed yet Stop all servers but no server found

I am getting below error message while installing MAMP on Mac. I've checked activity monitor for httpd and mysqld processes but no processes found and i've also used terminal to quit any active mysql process but nothing founf there too. Any suggestion how i can navigate the below error message.

Error Message [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/QwTLD.png

MAMP (PRO) can not be installed yet! First, you have to • stop all servers, • deactivate the Dynamic DNS service, • turn off server starts at system startup, • and quit MAMP & MAMP PRO.

If you keep seeing this message please restart your Mac.

Many thanks.

I faced up the same problem (upgrading to Mamp Pro 6.6 on a Mac M1), with not processes running. As DavidH told, deleting file /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/tmp/mysqld_proxy.pid has worked for me and the installation has been completed successfully.

I was having the same problem. I took the following steps:

  1. Make sure "mysqld_proxy" isn't running by quitting (not "Force quit") the process "mysqld_proxy" using "Activity Monitor.app"
  2. remove "/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/tmp/mysqld_proxy.pid"

I was then able to install successfully.

I had an error message "MAMP & MAMP PRO 6.6 can’t be installed on this computer." So, I was trying to solve it and only found this thread on Stakoverflow. A couple of hours later I realised I downloaded "MAMP & MAMP PRO 6.6 (M1)" package from here mamp.info/en/downloads although my Mac processor is Intel. So, I downloaded "MAMP & MAMP PRO 6.6 (Intel)" package and managed to install new MAMP with no problems. Of course, it's not an answer for the question as this person here has problems with M1 Mac but hopefully my answer is helpful for someone who has the same problem as I had.

I had exactly this problem and as @Anastasiia says below, the issue was my processor. I hadn't paid much attention at the download to realize the processor mattered, and frankly I'd have expected a better error message since they obviously know they didn't find the processor they were looking for, so they could have informed me. Anyway, solved easily with the proper download package. I needed the one for the Intel processor, not M1.
