I cannot access to phpAdmin. On my new computer, when installing MAMP 4, it seems that my php version is 7.1.

Looks like it's a php version problem. What can I do ?

Try typing phpmyadmin after your local host in the address bar.

For example: localhost/phpmyadmin

On MAC, after installing MAMP I have PHP Version 7.1.1, and same issue. Cannot access phpMyAdmin, in menu it is grayed with note (needs PHP 5.5.x to 7.0.x). Only phpLiteAdmin, but same issue, only a blank page when trying going to it.

If you open MAMP, and under the PHP tab, if you click on "7.0.15" as your "Standard version", then reopen "Open WebStart Page" that should fix it. Hope that helps.

^ This fixed the same problem that I was having as you guys,

Jessica, you should add your answer as a comment on the initial question so we can vote it up! Your answer fixed this error for me.

Hi Jacob, Thanks for your help. MAMP site says it needs PHP 5.5.x to 7.0.x and only has phpliteadmin available and when I try to use that it just takes me to a blank page... On phpInfo page, it says that I work on version 7.1. It seems that this is the problem.

I am also having the same issue, and am getting HTTP ERROR 500 when I try to access phpliteadmin. I have php 7.1.1
