Using MAMP install

Is there any documentation on Treehouse or other source on how to use the MAMP install I used for the PHP modules to work the lessons in this module? The MAMP site wasn't helpful. The MAMP install has both MYSQL server and SQL Workbench. When I start the server from the Workbench, I get the following error "Start server: /bin/bash: /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server: No such file or directory"

Never mind! I remember that the following module was being taught by Randy also. I went there and found that I should be using phpMyAdmin. Still have to figure out to get the database into MyAdmin but that shouldn't be too difficult. Treehouse should have some info about this in the lesson because if you are following the PHP track, you will already have the MAMP or XAMP package install and installing another copy of MYSQL isn't necessary.

I also downloaded MAMP before mySQL Workbench. Once I was able to get it uploaded, I had to manually add the server by going into Workbench and adding it using the Database menu option, then Manage Connections. You then add the localhost name, specify localhost, port number and the username and password (both of these should be 'root'). You can also start and stop the MAMP server from mySQL Workbench as well.
