Gus, that line uncommented in step 7 is simply including the file that is edited in the next step, so this must mean there is an error in the next step, 8.

Thanks for the great guide very clear for a beginner. Just one question about installing phpmyadmin. When I uncommented the line:
Include /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
it didn’t work (i just got a browser page not found). But it works when I DO comment out the line, contrary to your instructions. Why could that be?

(am using snow leopard).

peter, edit the existing one.

Btw, since I wrote this I became a fan of macports (http://www.macports.org/). Now use that system for installing PHP, MySQL, etc. Installations are easier to manage with macports but you have to look for all their files in /opt/local rather than the default directories.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.

I am running OSX10.6. Just downloaded mysql version for 10.6. Getting back to normal having upgraded the OS!!
Thanks for your article in installing phpMyAdmin. Question is do I add another include statement in the Apache config file or edit the existing one.
