Installing phpmyadmin with home-brew
<p>I have tried to install and configure phpmyadmin using home-brew. To install I used the commands <code>brew install phpmyadmin</code> and this is the summary of the message printed in the terminal.</p>

==&gt; Caveats
Note that this formula will NOT install mysql. It is not
required since you might want to get connected to a remote
database server.

Webserver configuration example (add this at the end of
your /etc/apache2/httpd.conf for instance) :
  Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/local/share/phpmyadmin
  &lt;Directory /usr/local/share/phpmyadmin/&gt;
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    &lt;IfModule mod_authz_core.c&gt;
      Require all granted
    &lt;/IfModule&gt;
    &lt;IfModule !mod_authz_core.c&gt;
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
Then, open http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Configuration has been copied to /usr/local/etc/phpmyadmin.config.inc.php
Don't forget to:
  - change your secret blowfish
  - uncomment the configuration lines (pma, pmapass ...)

</code></pre>

<p>I followed the instruction at the terminal output, despite this when I type into the url <a href="http://localhost/phpmyadmin" rel="noreferrer">http://localhost/phpmyadmin</a> into safari I still end up with the error message, <code>Safari can't open the page "localhost/phpmyadmin" because Safari can't connect to the server "localhost"</code>. I think it's possible that I have set the cookie configuration correctly in the phpmyadmin.config.in.php file but not sure how I can correct this. </p>
