Issue
I have been learning Ruby on Rails and have been using the command line successfully to view and edit the database (using the mysql
command).
I am now using MAMP and trying to install Wordpress. It appears that it is using a "different" mysql. I.e., databases I create via the command line aren't viewable in MAMP's phpmyadmin, and vice versa.
How can I access MAMP's mysql via the command line? I'm guessing that I need to specify the host when logging in with the mysql
command, but I'm not sure what to put there. Since phpmyadmin exists at localhost:8888/phpMyAdmin
, I tried using mysql -h localhost:8888 -u root -p
, but that didn't work (error: Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:8888'
).
Solution
MAMP installs it's own MySQL which means that you now have two MySQL instances installed on you machine.
try typing this in your terminal
/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql
