-Now accessing databases in MySQL with phpMyAdmin should work. So installing a CMS like Drupal or WordPress should be a piece of cake.
-First step is to create a new user in mysql and his database. Download for example WordPress and copy it's files in your DocumentRoot.
-When installing it, you will see that macOS prevents WordPress from creating a config file in the DocumentRoot. Create that file manually and copy the contents provided by WordPress in it.
-Within a minute your Wordpress website is up and running. **Excellent job done !! ** \\

+There is no need to edit the config.inc.php file, so feel free to skip the following lines and goto Step 7:\\
+However if you are a curious person, check the following: locate in this config file the line:
+{{{
+$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']   = 'cookie';    // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)? - default is Cookie.
+}}}
+It will be right at the beginning in the section labeled: "/* Authentication type */"
+
+Instead of the default value 'cookie', you might consider changing it to 'config' or 'http'.
+Details on the three different options can be found in the chapter 'using-authentication-modes' in the phpmyadmin manual.  \\

-Where ' ' is an empty password; fill it with your MySQL root password. \\
-'''NOTE:''' You should change the 'auth_type' from 'config' to 'cookie' or 'httpd' so that you do not need to  provide the password you selected for the MySQL root user in the 'password' option.
-(I.e. leaving it in plain text in this config file.) \\
-However, as this is to simply get you "up-and-running," details for configuring those two authorization options are not given here.
