Hello,

So how do I set the password for access to phpMyAdmin? Do I simply add the following lines?

Years ago when I used phpMyAdmin, those lines were in the config file and you would modify them to suit. If those lines are no longer in the config file of today's phpMyAdmin then they have changed things. Consult the phpMyAdmin documentation, and when you find the answer, let us know, or edit the wiki page yourself to fix it.



This will create a file config.inc.php in the phpMyAdmin folder. Edit that file, and locate the lines:

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = 'root';      // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; // MySQL password (only needed // with 'config' auth_type)

Where ' ' is an empty password; fill it with your MySQL root password. You can either change the 'auth_type' from 'config' to 'cookie' or 'httpd', or alternatively provide the password you selected for the root user in the 'password' option.



Please advise,

-Steve

Comment(by ryandes...@…):

I've worked on the ports that comprise the MAMP stack, but the MAMP guide in the wiki was created by someone else. I read through it recently and made a lot of adjustments for clarity and changes that had occurred in the MAMP ports, but that's about it. I haven't used phpMyAdmin in years so I
don't know how it's changed lately.

One thought I had was that the MAMP guide tells the user to create the file httpd-phpmyadmin.conf with a certain contents. I would suggest that
it should instead be the phpMyAdmin port's responsibility to do that.
