MAMP Pro - updating phpMyAdmin issue

Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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 !
