 * Merry Xmas everyone!🎄
 * Anyway, has anyone ever had the issue of not being able to access PHPMyAdmin 
   locally? I keep on getting error message of not being able to connect.
 * I’m trying to get a SQL table that was used for a WordPress site and I’m not 
   having much luck. Was developed locally and never had this issue before. I have
   the rest of my files saved and my work is completed so I need this badly for 
   a client.
 * Things I have done or reviewed:
    – Used MAMP to try to connect using WPbeginner
   tutorials. – I have checked the WordPress file WPconfig.php and everything seems
   to be ok! – Apache runs fine and can connect.

 * This really is not a WordPress problem.

 * [@blackenedhonesty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blackenedhonesty/) –
 * Let’s clarify a few things 🙂
 * – you are running MAMP on a Mac?
    – you have MAMP running and the icons for Apache
   and MySQL in the MAMP Control Pane show that both servers are running ? – you
   can access the MAMP Start Page? – the problem arises when you select phpMyAdmin
   from the Tools menu on the MAMP Start Page?
 * Cheers!
    Lyle
