    If you’re going to do much dev work, this is a lot easier to pull off on Linux within a Virtual Machine.

    Some updated needed it seems:

    The +mysqlnd variant is obsolete. Please install the php5-mysql port instead.

    Working like a charm so far, thanks. The phpmyadmin documentation link is broken. Here’s the new one:
