I have recently installed MAMP and phpMyAdmin on my laptop which is currently running macOS Sierra. I have followed various online tutorials on how to configure phpMyAdmin but the one thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to save a configuration.
From what I read I'm supposed to create a folder named config in the root folder of phpMyAdmin. I did just that and I also gave the folder full permisions for user group and others just to be safe. However, it didn't work and I still find myself having to reconfigure phpMyAdmin every time I restart my computer. I also tried to change the ownership of the folder in question but that didn't work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I've been here before and even wrote an article on how I was able to connect Coldfusion 2018 with Mac OS X Mojave, but since the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina, I haven't been able to get Coldfusion to work correctly on virtual hosts (ie. http://local.mylocalsite.com).
Goal: install Apache connector for Coldfusion so that I can run my dev site from within the /Sites folder like I would any other site.
Problem: Apache is working and I can access websites from the /Sites folder using the virtual host (ie. local.mydevsite.com), but although Coldfusion is running (I can access the Coldfusion Administrator), my computer does not seem to recognize that Coldfusion is supposed to run. I don't know if this is Apache or Coldfusion's responsibility.
What I've tried: I've tried using the GUI connector, as well as trying to confirm the settings via command line. I have XAMPP installed, which I believe that DesktopServer (an application by ServerPress) is relying on, but that's probably not relevant; but what I'm getting at is that I believe XAMPP relies on Mac's default installation of Apache.
I've also tried to go into every file that is referenced in any instruction document to determine if there is anything out of place. Part of my confusion is that there are many instances of some of these files and I'm not sure which one is active. Here are some of the files I've looked into:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/conf/mod_jk.so
/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/private/etc/apache2/mod_jk.conf
/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
From what I can tell, the main settings for Apache are stored in the /private/etc/apache2 folder, but I want the XAMPP version of https-vhosts.conf because that's where DesktopServer is pulling their virtual hosts from. Regardless, I don't think it matters which vhosts file is being used because Coldfusion won't run on any of the local sites from my /Sites folder that are loading correctly when I visit local.anylocaldevsite.com.
Thoughts? This is either a really dumb question because no one else is asking it, or there aren't many Mac users who also use Coldfusion. Would love assistance if anyone has a clue. Thanks!
Update: This isn't an exact answer, but the recommendation to try CommandBox was a win. I installed CommandBox and then ran the "ColdBox" application in the root of my project and the site opened up in my browser like a gem. Wonderful. Thank you! I can call that the "answer" if no one objects, but I know that it's more of a workaround than an exact fix.
I'm trying to learn MySQL for a database course in which we use MAMP to set up the server. Everything was fine at first, but a few days ago I couldn't connect to MySQL with MAMP. In trying to solve this I removed both MAMP and MAMP PRO from my PC completely (instead of using the provided uninstaller). As a result I cannot reinstall MAMP as the installer still detects that I installed MAMP earlier and tries to uninstall it. In trying to fix my mistake I found that I still have references (I think they are .exe files) to MAMP and MAMP PRO in the windows apps section (. However when I try to remove them I get an error bar saying:
-) C:/MAMP/unins000.exe
and
-) cannot find file C:/MAMP/unins000.exe.
So I cannot remove said files, meaning that I cannot reinstall MAMP
I tried the MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall and ccleaner first to install MAMP, however this resulted in the same error.
I also found some threads that show how to restore a file's directory through the command line, yet the problem with this is that I cannot find the directory of the remaining MAMP files.
As I'm not really into this field I have no idea of where to look to solve this. I'm however intrigued by this problem I would like to understand how this is possible and how to solve this.
In the end I would like to remove those MAMP references so I can reinstall MAMP.
Or (only if I really can't fix this) someone knows a similar program that works as well or better.
I've got a strange problem. My xampp seems to run just fine, at least the control panel says so. A couple of months back I was able to use xampp properly as well. But now, if I try to load anything in htdocs the browser tells me that the website is not available.
The only things that have changed since I used xampp successfully:
I've briefly installed wampp, but decided to deinstall it again. As far as I can tell, I have removed snd deinstalled everything succesfully.
And, I'm using an other internet connection. Is there a possibility that the firewall of the modem messes xampp up?
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
PS: I did not post the config files of xampp, because I haven't changed them since everything worked properly, so I hardly think that it is relevant.
Considering your problem and the information I have gathered from you.
The best solution is:
Make a backup of all your files in htdocs.Uninstall Xampp completely.Download and install once again.
Note:
Latest Xampp versions comes with MariaDB unlike mysql.Now some versions of MariaDB is unstable.This would create problems when you are actually working with database and sql queries.
Either download and install Xampp which comes with Mysql or find a version of xampp which comes with a stable version of MariaDB and the latest PhpMyAdmin version.
Reinstalling solves issues like this most of the time.There may have been some kind of server conflict when you installed WAMP.So an all new installation is best.
You could also try clearing the browser history and cookie as an alternative.
So something happened to my operating system that required me to format my PC.
I was able to save my xampp folder and its web files in it.
My question is, is it possible to reactivate Xampp and its web files the way it was like nothing happened? How?
Or I really have to start a new Xampp installation and do everything one by one.
Please help. I will really appreciate it. Thanks in advanced!
To be safe, just start a new Xampp installation. Important registry entries are lost when you reformat your PC.
I recently installed Owncloud 4.5 (beta) and on 4.0.7 (latest stable) on Bitnami LAMP stack as amazon ec2.
after installation I've been trying to use the external storage app to mount a backet from S3, FTP, or dropbox. in all of the cases soon as I set up the configurations in the app, the mount folder disappear from the client's browser. when I ssh and look the folders are still there.
only thing that works is the option to mount local folders.
I did try to change permissions and ownership of those folders but that not seems to be the case.
posted on forum.owncloud.org as well, but no one seems to answer.
Did anyone seen this problem before?
Thank you!
