  1. I’m thankful to you. That saved me time and reassured me among a lot of other helpful tips.
    I just had to find out some additional tips with my headless pi to get access to 192.168.1.x with my mbp Safari navigator.
    1- I had to edit /etc/hosts and replace “127.0.0.1 localhost” with “127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
    2- and to access phpMyAdmin, I had to create a link under /var/www with
    ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin
