How to upgrade phpMyAdmin in MAMP / MAMP PRO on OS X 10.8
Recently, I needed to upgrade phpMyAdmin on my installation of MAMP. The instructions on the MAMP blog (see the post here) didn’t seem to cover my system set-up in OS X 10.8.5 so here is what I did to upgrade.
After downloading the latest stable version of phpMyAdmin from here, I stopped MAMP and got ready to follow the instructions to upgrade.
The instructions over at the MAMP blog make reference to a file and location that I couldn’t find on OS X 10.8.5. This is mentioned in step 3. The place I was looking for was here:
My path was Macintosh HD > Applications > MAMP > bin > phpMyAdmin > config.inc.php.
With MAMP stopped, I copied over my config.inc.php file to the newly-downloaded directory then renamed my phpMyAdmin directory to phpMyAdmin-OLD. I renamed the new directory (still on my desktop) to phpMyAdmin and copied this over to my MAMP directory, restarted MAMP and everything seems to be fine.
Thanks for that, old post but exactly what I needed to upgrade phpmyadmin on os 10.5.8. Cheers
Glad it is still helpful 😉
