I have MAMP installed on my Mac Book Pro OS 10.6.8. The open start page on my MAMP is grayed out now. The Apache server button is green. The MySQL server button is red.
At one time I could access phpmyadmin. I have my php files in htdocs folder of MAMP that I can access in localhost:8888/filename.php. I want to create another database and table but I can’t access phpmyadmin. I even downloaded phpmyadmin to my desktop but I don’t know how to open it. Any suggestions
I often get MAMP giving me the red light for MySQL.
Every time I fixed it by quitting every instance of the
mysqldprocess.Check in Activity Monitor for multiple instances of that process running – if there are, then that is your problem. Quit them all, and restart MAMP.
Activity monitor can be found in
Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app. – Search formysqldin the search box in the top right of activity monitor, and if there are multiple instances running, quit them all.If not, try quitting the process anyway and restart MAMP.
Update: Easier way to perform this:
From terminal.
