Hi everyone:
In the non-virtual machine versions of Xampp, it was very easy to connect to the local database with MySQL Tools or Sequel Pro, usually via socket, by the path: /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock
Already in the VM version ... nor by presidential decree.
The /lampp/etc/my.cnf file indicates the same socket connection by the path:
/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock
But it does not work.
Can anyone give an indication or do we only have to go back to the non-VM version?
Working only with phpMyAdmin? Speaks seriously...
Last but, another thing:
There's a topic right here in Apache Friends just about this "new" and incensed VM version of Xampp:
https://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=75849&start=45
The problem is that nobody answers there, it's been a while.
Since October 22, 2018, to speak the truth.
Regards, Carlos
