getting to phpmyadmin with mamp

Question

I'm using MAMP, and trying to get to phpmyadmin. loaclhost/phpmyadmin isn't working.. the sql light is green so it is enabled.

I have changed the Document Root to /Users/troycosentino/Sites/easyuniv/ and when i open the start page from MAMP it is a page created by apple it looks like, not MAMP.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can directly access it at the link below, make sure that it contains the same uppercase letters.

127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin

Or if you prefer

localhost/phpMyAdmin

Answer 2

My htdocs folder was only filled with personal projects.

I have no idea WHY this works, but it did for me:

In the httpd.conf folder (do a command + space and search for that if you don't know what it is already), change your root folder to:

DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/bin”

Comment out your OLD document root with a '#', such that it will look like:

#DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs”

Then, repeat those changes for the Directory path:

<Directory "/Applications/MAMP/bin”>
#DocumentRoot "/Applications/MAMP/htdocs”

Stop/Restart MAMP. For good measure, try loading local server in your browser, it shouldn't work.

Then, undo everything above and change your document and directory roots back to their originals.

Stop/Restart MAMP. Try navigating to localhost/phpmyadmin or localhost:8888/phpmyadmin again.

Not sure exactly why, but it seems to trigger MAMP to behave itself. Hope that helps

Answer 3

On Windows pay attention to capital letters:

http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/

Answer 4

Try this:

localhost/MAMP

and from nav-menu choose: tools>PhpMyAdmin

Answer 5

Try this localhost:8888/MAMP/?language=English

Click on phpMyAdmin tab and you have it.

Answer 6

If i go to localhost:8888/MAMP it gives me the MAMP screen, from which i can go to phpmadmin.
