You’re instructions are missing a step.

Must double click MySQLPrefPane before you can “Automatically Start MySQL Server on Startup”.

You are the man! Took me a while to get this going but finally worked with your tutorial. Only thing that hooked me up was the MySQL path problem… was getting this

-bash: mysqladmin: command not found

which was easily fixed by running…

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin

Thanks heaps man! It works perfectly.

[...] the proper way to compile the pdo_mysql.so library. This all assumes that you have PHP and MySQL installed the same way I do. [...]

Hi, thanx for a great tutorial.
I just want to add that I found sequel pro (www.sequelpro.com) to be a better alternative to phpmyadmin.

Hi,
I just finished installing Apache, PHP and MySQL 5.1.31 on Mac OS 10.5.6.
Everythings worked fine, except a little 403 error (permissions..).
Thanks.

Hello, after getting phpadmin up & running, I get the message:

“Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration.”

Do you see this and is it of any consequence?

Thanks – any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Dipesh.
