title: Can't access MySQL through XAMPP and phpMyAdmin
body: <p>I am using XAMPP and I am trying to access phpMyAdmin through <code>http://localhost/phpmyadmin</code>, but I'm getting this error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error
  SQL query: 
  
  SHOW PLUGINS
  
  MySQL said: 
  
  #1 - Can't create/write to file '/var/folders/_y/gtpc137d1q9gkvsj0dsxjd040000gn/T/#sql9f2_8_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I haven't tried to access it in a while so I don't know what has changed since the last time. Can anyone shed light on this for me? I've Googled and can't seem to understand what most people are talking about in related issues.</p>
  
  <p>Also, my XAMPP won't connect to Apache anymore either (it just keeps giving me the loading image).</p>
  
  <p>Here is the error I'm getting:</p>
