This tiny application has been created with Automator and can be inspected to see the applescript program inside it:
on run
do shell script "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe > /dev/null 2>&1 &" with administrator privileges
do shell script "apachectl restart > /dev/null 2>&1" with administrator privileges
end run
The script will try to launch MySQL by calling mysqld_safe directly, thus without the need to have the StartupItems / System Preferences components installed.
Then it will try restarting apache as well, by invoking apachectl restart.

Open the application, it will prompt for the computer’s password.
Then it tries launching both services and displays a confirmation message that enables sending your feedback directly to the supporting team.
