In the previous post, we have installed Apache, PHP and MySQL on OS X 10.8. To do administration of mySQL database we can use various app. One of the tool that usually use by programmer to do that is phpMyAdmin. It is a free opensource web app that’s used to manage MySQL database. Let’s install it now.
The first thing that we need to do is open terminal and type
# symbolic link for mysql
sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
Extract the downloaded phpMyAdmin-3.5.2.1-english.zip into web folder and rename as phpMyAdmin. So now we should have ~/Sites/phpMyAdmin directory.
On browser, open : http://localhost/~username/phpmyadmin
Now we can login and administer MySQL database.
