Hey everyone,

I have mampp installed on my macbook and it runs a mysql database. I want to use query browser rather than php myadmin for writing my queries, but I can’t connect to the database. I am simply using ‘localhost’ as the host name, but I am not sure what I am supposed to use as the hostname.

Any help would be great,

Thanks,
