I have spent 4 hours dealing with this issue and of course I didn't have any luck. I ma looking for to update PhpMyAdmin in order top access my databases and tables and sql code, as my phpmyadmin version 4.8.2 which is by FAR THE WORST UPDATE EVER!!!!!!!!!!! , I am not able to export my databases, since it's JS is broken.
Tasks performed:
Various tricks with changing permissions in order to move the mysql files including disabling Integrity protection, trying to move the files as a super user (using the sudo command), trying to change the permissions on the parent folder and the folder including the databases or the actual databases etc, and NON of them work! Seems like it's impossible to break through the extremely restricted macOS permissions. Why the hell is that?
Attempted to re-install XAMPP, but Bitnami OS X VM doesn't seem to update and if I update it, I will lose all of my files, since I cannot move the databases.
Summary:
So I tried moving the files from the mysql folder, exporting from phpmyadmin, attempted to change the permissions, updated XAMPP -> NONE OF THEM WORK!
I'm extremely frustrated the fact phpmyadmin is the only way to access the databases and it's impossible to access them in any other way. Since phpmyadmin is broken, how can I access the databases now?
