I am having an issue after updating my MAMP Pro to the latest phpMyAdmin (4.0.0). The error is:
Unknown language: en-iso-8859-1.
How do I resolve this? I attempted to edit config.inc.php
by removing the en-
part of the language and charset conversion settings. I have edited both config.inc.php
files in Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin
, and /Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/
directories. I am still encountering the issue. What else do I need to check?
I had the same problem when I upgraded phpMyAdmin. Take a look here Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/locale
and see if there is a folder named en
and I suspect there won't be. It turns out that when I downloaded the update it was the British English version and the folder was named en_GB
which I believe is the reason for the error Unknown language: en-iso-8859-1
but I do not know for sure.
My solution was to change the config.inc.php
file to this:
$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en_GB-iso-8859-1';
Previously it was $cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en-iso-8859-1';
I no longer have this error message for phpMyAdmin on MAMP 2.1.3. Hope this helps.
I think that is a partial answer. I had to go to /Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp/English
and fix the files index.php and navigation.php. I replaced en-iso-8859-1 with en and everything is fine now. I also had to remember to copy the config.inc.php from the previous versions directory and I made the change recommended above. I changed the language in config.inc.php to en.
$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en';
In summary, it works now and I do not get that annoying error message. If only I can remember to make these changes on the other systems in the office. That is why I am documenting it here. Sort of an external memory.
My solution:
- follow exactly the instructions in here:
Upgrading phpmyadmin
and delete any phpmyadmin-OLD folders
- @ Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/locale I create an empty folder named "en"
@ config.inc.php, I uncommented the line:
// Force: always use this language - must be defined in
// libraries/select_lang.lib.php
//uncommented the next line to force en language
$cfg['Lang'] = 'en-iso-8859-1';
- VERY IMPORTANT: restart the server, clean brownser cache !
To recap and add additional info, you have to follow both of previous replies:
1) Go to Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/locale and change the config.inc.php file to this:
$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en_GB-iso-8859-1';
2) Go to /Applications/MAMP/bin/mamp/English and fix the files index.php and navigation.php.
Replace en-iso-8859-1 with en-GB-iso-8859-1.
Last, go to /library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/mamp/English and do the same for index.php and navigation.php
