Not able to see databases in symlinked folder
- by Josh Smith
I created a folder on my Dropbox and then symlinked it to both of my computers that I use for development. The folder is working correctly and I can see all the files in it from both computers. The problem arises when I try and access the databases from my MacBook Air. When I open up MAMP Pro and start the web service I can't connect to my development sites, at least from one of my computers.
My questions are: Is this even a good idea to symlink the db folder for MAMP?
If it is not then is the a smart way to develop locally on two machines?
Can I prompt phpMyAdmin to reindex the db folder so it can start accessing the databases?
I have tried shutting down both versions of the server software. I have restarted both machines. I am at a loss right now.
