mySQL Server refuses to start up on port 3306 but ok on 8889.

Anyone got any ideas? Banging head on desk here :-)

The simplest solution would be probably to figure out if there is another instance of MySQL running and stopping it, e.g. you could call in Terminal :

ps -ax | grep mysqld

and then kill the appropriate mysqld process.

And to check for processes listening on the port 3306 :

lsof -i:3306

for me solution was to stop mhsql service

sudo launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist

and then reload it from MAMP
