MySQL server not starting

High Sierra, MySQL - used to work fine but now when I hit "start server" nothing happens - it doesn't show it as running. Any idea how to figure out what's happening?

Do the Terminal commands do anything for you?

Start MySQL

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

Stop MySQL

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server stop

Restart MySQL

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server restart

Might have to Stop it first'

Thanks! This is what it says:

. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file (/usr/local/mysql/data/Mikes-Hackintosh-3.local.pid).

what does this mean?

It means to me that you are not running a legal version of Mac OS.
