MAMP phpMyAdmin is not active?

I've just installed the free version of MAMP and I can't access phpMyAdmin tool.

phpMyAdmin is not clickable and it says needs PHP 5.5.x to 7.0.x as it can be seen from the screenshot;

However, when I checked the installed PHP version;

ricsters-MacBook-Pro:~ ricster$ php -v
PHP 7.1.1 (cli) (built: Jan 23 2017 15:09:57) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies

So I have the PHP 7.1.1 installed but for some reason, MAMP doesn't recognize it. How can I solve this issue?

Solution

  • Okay, so I finally solved the problem. First as aynber mention above in the comment section, I needed to install another Php version, so with homebrew, I installed the PHP 7.0;

    brew install php70

    then to start;

    brew services start homebrew/php/php70

    and then;

    export PATH="$(brew --prefix homebrew/php/php70)/bin:$PATH"

    finally, I changed the folder name of the PHP 7.1.1 in MAMP folder to

    /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.1.1_notActive

    after that restarted the MAMP and now I have access to phpMyAdmin.
