OK, if you’re having trouble on the last step, here’s what worked for me.
First, I’m new to terminal, and all this vim crap can suck it.
I navigated in Finder to /etc/apache2/other/
Found the file phpMyAdmin.conf (it had some weird extension to it, so i renamed it to .conf)
Opened it up in SublimeText 2 and added:

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/local/phpMyAdmin

Options Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

then saved and ran the terminal command: sudo apachectl restart

After that, i could see localhost/phpMyAdmin

@author: the line spacing on that last bit is confusing. when I copy and pasted it into terminal, vim opened and the first line was: rectory /usr/local/phpMyAdmin>
Thats where the confusion began, and this tutorial lost its luster.

I’m having the same problem as @Frankie
I ran through all these steps and was really excited, until the very last step. What happens if your phpMyAdmin screen doesn’t come up?

In Step 9 for some, put the file “phpMyAdmin.conf” in /etc/apache2/sites/phpMyAdmin.conf and not in /etc/apache2/other.

Thank you for this tuto.

For people confused on step 9 the correct way is the following:

run this in Terminal:
sudo vi /etc/apache2/other/phpMyAdmin.conf

add this info inside of file:
Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/local/phpMyAdmin

    Options Indexes
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

Thanks! The localhost -> 127.0.0.1 phpMyAdmin solution worked great for me.

+1 for using homebrew. It may seem more complicated initially, but will save you a ton of time going forward developing on a Mac.

Step 9 is a friggin mess.
The perfect way to blow the whole tutorial and leave people hanging.
All it would take is a little bit of explanation as to what is
actually happening.
