i am new to laravel i just figured out how to install composer laravel etc etc on my local machine MAMP on windows , Now i am confuse with the command on terminal which is
C:\project>mysql -uroot -proot
'mysql' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
How can i fix this ?
setting Environment will solve the issue
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
Click - Environment Variables
Go to- System Variables find PATH and click on it.
add the path to your mysql\bin folder to the end paths. (ex: E:\xampp\mysql\bin) and add ; end of the line
Close all the command prompts you opens.
Re open and try it.
Setting the PATH to point to the MYSQL bin folder is normally the first thought, but I find that dangerous as things get left lying around when you change software.
I normally create a little batch file in the projects folder or in a folder that it already on your PATH, like this
mysqlpath.cmd
echo off
PATH=C:\mamp\path\to\the\mysql\bin;%PATH%
mysql -v
The mysql -v will output the mysql version number but it is a handy way of knowing that the correct folder has been added to the PATH. This adds the folder to the PATH but only for the life of the command window.
Then just run this from any command window when you want to use MYSQL from the command line
> phppath
You may also like to create one for PHP as well
phppath.cmd
echo off
PATH=C:\mamp\path\to\the\php\;%PATH%
php -v
when I try to use mysql or mysqldump command in terminal I receive an error saying mysql: command not found. Ok the next step is to add the path of mysql: something like this export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql-5.7.15-osx10.11-x86_64/bin. After that I can use both commands without problem, but if I close the Terminal or restart the computer the mysql/mysqldump command is not recognised by the terminal again. Do you know what could be happening?
I'm using OS X Sierra
Add the below line to .bash_profile for the changes to take effect on every new shell on your OS X system. Not doing so, leaves the changes only on your current working shell and the changes are lost at the end of the shell exit.
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql-5.7.15-osx10.11-x86_64/bin
.bash_profile is read at start-up of every new session, so that now the shell knows which path it should pick up the mysql executable.
On macOS you can always add it to /etc/paths.d by creating a file there called something like 90-mysql with the content:
/usr/local/mysql-5.7.15-osx10.11-x86_64/bin
That will apply to new shells, so you will need to create a new terminal window for that to take effect.
The other option is to create a link in /usr/bin to whatever binaries in that directory you want to use. That's more of a hack and probably less elegant than the paths.d option.
I have a strange issue. On my PC with Linux Mint 17 I can access mysql just by typing mysql in the terminal, but on my laptop (with Ubuntu 15.04) I have to type each time /opt/lampp/bin/mysql (both have the latest XAMPP version installed).
So my question is: how to make mysql "global" and accessible by just typing "mysql"?
You need to add /opt/lampp/bin/ to your $PATH so that the system can find the binary file.
From the command line enter:
PATH=$PATH:/opt/lampp/bin
+1 for doublesharp's answer. Otherwise, you could do:
alias mysql=/opt/lampp/bin/mysql
This avoids making everything in /opt/lampp/bin/ immediately accessible on the path, which may or may not be desired.
As said by #doublesharp, enter this line into the file .bashrc in your home directory
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/lampp/bin
I have MySQL set up correctly on my linux computer, however I want a better way to input data into the database besides terminal. For this reason, I downloaded phpMyAdmin. However, when I try to log in to the phpMyAdmin from index.php, it doesnt do anything. It seems to just refresh the page without doing anything. I am putting in the correct MySQL username and password. What is the issue?
Here is a screen shot of what it shows after I click "go".
This is a possible issue when the path to save php_session is not correctly set :
The directory for storing session does not exists or php do not have sufficient rights to write to it.
To define the php_session directory simply add the following line to the php.ini :
session.save_path="/tmp/php_session/"
And give write rights to the http server.
usually, the http server run as user daemon in group daemon. If it is the case, the following commands will make it :
chown -R :daemon /tmp/php_session
chmod -R g+wr /tmp/php_session
service httpd restart
Login fails if session folder in not writeable. To check that, create a PHP file in your web directory with:
<?php
$sessionPath = 'undefined';
if (!($sessionPath = ini_get('session.save_path'))) {
$sessionPath = isset($_ENV['TMP']) ? $_ENV['TMP'] : sys_get_temp_dir();
}
if (!is_writeable($sessionPath)) {
echo 'Session directory "'. $sessionPath . '"" is not writeable';
} else {
echo 'Session directory: "' . $sessionPath . '" is writeable';
}
If session folder is not writeable do either
sudo setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwx <session directory> or chmod 777 sudo setfacl -R -m u:www-data:rwx <session directory>

I am late to the game, but on Amazon linux AMI I could not log in to phpmyadmin ... it just kept refreshing the login screen with no errors.
I have fixed with below command
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/lib/php/session
I fixed my issue on CentOS 7 with MariaDB and phpmyadmin I downloaded from offical phpmyadmin site by adding
session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session"
to /etc/php.ini
and
chown -R :lighttpd /var/lib/php/session
I also restarted php-fpm and lighttpd after
In my case the solution was to set an Apache setting properly:
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath
This was required, because ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse were in use, but cookie paths are not changed automatically.
It'd be great if PHPMyAdmin had shown something like session not found or anything, when password is sent with POST.
Do you have a .htaccess file in one of the parent directories that strips off index.php from the url by doing a 301 redirect?
301 redirects discard the form data and redirect you as if you didn't submit anything. So you get returned to the login page.
So you should create a local .htaccess file in the phpmyadmin directory with a single line RewriteEngine On. This will overwrite the previous rewrite rule to nothing.
You may need to clear the browser cache as Chrome aggressively caches 301 redirects.
In my case the hard drive was full.
Use df -h to check the space left on your hard drive, and if you want you can free some space by using the command sudo apt-get clean, which removes installation files.
I hope this will help some future users.
I ran these commands and it worked for me:
sudo service httpd restart
sudo service mysqld stop
sudo service mysqld start
Try searching the web for installation or setup guides for phpMyAdmin. Look at two or three of these and make sure you have covered all the required steps. (If you have already done so, please include which guides you have followed it in the question).
See if it helps to edit config.inc.php (acecoder mentioned this as well).
Check if this guide is of any help.
Which distro are you on? Try searching for the name of the distro you are using together with "phpMyAdmin guide" or "phpMyAdmin setup howto".
If you encounter errors along the way, post the error text here, if it's short (or paste via a pastebin-like site if it's long).
Are you sure that mysql is running? I had the same issue after doing a database import and filling up the volume containing the mysql database. After changing various permissions and clearing sessions, I tried to restart mysql (/etc/init.d/mysql restart) and it failed because the volume was full. After increasing /var and starting mysql successfully, I was able to log into phpmyadmin just fine.
If you have an error like:
Host 'host_name' is blocked because of many connection errors.
Login in your mysql as root and run the flush hosts command
1.- mysql -u root -p
2.- mysql > flush hosts
After this I was able to login again in phpmyadmin
phpMyAdmin will show errors when login fails. If it doesn't, it means that your setup has an error.
The most likely place to check is your php.ini settings. Since there doesn't seem to be an official list of phpMyAdmin-compatible settings, it's mostly trial and error.
Make sure you have enabled the stuff that needs to be enabled. Also check that you did not enable uncommon php.ini settings (like enable_post_data_reading = Off) because phpMyAdmin assumes them to be "the usual ones".
To ease debugging, start with a clean default php.ini file then tweak them line by line to see which setting is causing the error. (Don't forget that you need to restart your server after changing the php.ini file for the changes to take place.)
In my case it was due to an old Apache session.
Stop Apache, clear all pending sessions in your sessions.save_path directory (example: /var/lib/php/session) and restart Apache.
Make sure to set a 32 chars long random key in 'config.inc.php' in the $cfg['blowfish_secret'] value. That solved it for me.
Didn't realize I need to restart MariaDB after modifying config.inc.php:
service mariadb restart
Otherwise at least in my case changes didn't come affect. Also make sure your php session directory is writable by webserver (typically session.save_path = "/var/lib/php/session")
Right now, if I want to run mysql, I have to do /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql -u user -ppass... I'd be a happy camper if I could just do mysql -u user -ppass.... Been googling around, but haven't been able to find anything... Have a feeling I'm using dumb search terms, so if anyone here knows how to do this, that'd be awesome...
you can either add /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/ to your bash PATH variable (edit your .bash_profile, find the line with export PATH=... and add here the path to MAMP bin folder) , or maybe create an alias with alias mysql='/Applications/.../bin/mysql' (also in your .bash_profile).
Add:
export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/
to your ~/.profile
It will take effect next time your profile is initialized (I'm not sure when that is under OS X, it might be when you start your terminal application, it might be when you log in)
It depends what shell you're using. You should be able to add /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/ to your path:
export PATH=${PATH}:/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin
Mac OS uses bash by default. Just add this line to your .bashrc.
Execute . ./.profile to restart your profile.
