cp: No such file or directory when copying phpMyAdmin folder to /Library/WebServer/Documents/

When I use the following command:

 ~/Downloads  cp -r phpMyAdmin /Library/WebServer/Documents/

I get this error:

cp: /Library/WebServer/Documents/phpMyAdmin/sql/upgrade_tables_4_7_0+.sql: No such file or directory

for all the files

.

How should I fix this in OSX?

I have

ls -l /Library/WebServer/Documents/                                                                                                           1 ✘  at 01:38:03 AM

and also 755 on phpMyAdmin folder in Downloads folder.

Solution

  • Try to copy it with sudo, as the owner seems to be root:wheel:

    sudo cp -r ./phpMyAdmin /Library/WebServer/phpMyAdmin
