本文主要记录phpMyAdmin在Mac OS X上的配置和使用，避免朋友们走弯路，浪费不必要的时间。
1. 下载：
2. 在"设置"中打开" web share", 即可开启Mac自带的Apache， 也可以通过sudo apachectl restart, 重启Apache。
3. 源码放入 Apache的配置文件—httpd.cnf中DocumentRoot项指定的目录中，并打开php5的module
#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
改为： LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
4. 修改DocumentRoot下地phpmyadmin源码的访问权限。 chmod -R 755 phpMyAdmin-4.4.1/
5. 配置Apache的httpd.conf 如下：
<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents/phpMyAdmin-4.4.1">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
6.在phpMyAdmin-4.4.1目录下，复制config.example.inc.php 保存为：config.inc.php ，并修改其部分内容：
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */ /*
* Servers configuration
*/
$i = ; /*
* First server
*/
$i++;
/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; //mysql username here
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'xxxx'; //mysql password here
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; /* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;
如果你忘记了mysql 密码，可以通过如下方法修改：
1. sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables -u root &
2. "sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start” 可跳过，原因未知
3. Then you should be able to log into MySQL as root: "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root"
4. 修改密码： "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = PASSWORD( 'new-password' ) WHERE User = 'root';"
"FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
"quit;"
5. 尝试用新密码登陆： "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p"
7. 即将大功告成！此时，如果你通过sudo apachectl restart, 重启Apache，并通过网络地址访问，可能还是会提示你出错: mysql said: cannot connect: invalid settings.
这可能是应为phpmyadmin 默认使用/var/mysql/mysql.sock来连接mysqld.
8. 为phpmyadmin 的默认sock目录创建一个连接到真实sock的链接。
8.1 sudo mkdir /var/mysql/
8.2 sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
9.最后fuck , 一个为程序员准备的产品，竟然不提示详细的stack, 如不进行上一步，连错误提示都他妈草草了事,浪费劳资多少时间。
Mac下使用brew install phpmyadmin 安装方案
localhost:~ xxx$ brew install phpmyadmin
==> Installing phpmyadmin from josegonzalez/homebrew-php
==> Downloading https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/archive/RELEASE_4_4_4.t
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Caveats
Note that this formula will NOT install mysql. It is not
required since you might want to get connected to a remote
database server.

Webserver configuration example (add this at the end of
your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf for instance) :
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/local/share/phpmyadmin
<Directory /usr/local/share/phpmyadmin/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require all granted
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
</Directory>
Then, open http://localhost/phpmyadmin
More documentation : file:///usr/local/Cellar/phpmyadmin/4.4.4/share/phpmyadmin/doc/
Configuration has been copied to /usr/local/etc/phpmyadmin.config.inc.php
Don't forget to:
- change your secret blowfish
- uncomment the configuration lines (pma, pmapass ...)
1. 修改/etc/apache2/httpd.conf , 并记得启用php5.mod
2. 修改上述的phpmyadmin.config.inc.php中的配置
3. 为phpmyadmin 的默认sock目录创建一个连接到真实sock的链接。
3.1 sudo mkdir /var/mysql/
3.2 sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
4. sudo apachectl restart
------------------------- Install phpmyadmin on Ubuntu------------------------------
1. install phpmod for apache2
2. install phpmysql for phpmyadmin to connect and manage mysql
3. download source code of phpmyadmin from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php.
4. untar the downloaded phpadmin ,
4.1. move it to /var/www/html/
4.2 chmod -R 755 ./phpmyadmin/
5. setting connection options for phpmyadmin .
在phpMyAdmin-4.4.1目录下，复制config.example.inc.php 保存为：config.inc.php ，并修改其部分内容：
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */ /*
* Servers configuration
*/
$i = 0; /*
* First server
*/
$i++;
/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root'; //mysql username here
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'xxxx'; //mysql password here
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; /* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = false;
6. check apache2.conf which located in /etc/apache2/
whether /var/www is granted to access
7. apache2ctl restart
