Im using xampp control on macbook and trying to connect to 'localhost/phpmyadmin'. I have apache and mySQL both running but im getting an error

#1 - Can't create/write to file '/var/folders/kb/6g_npz7s1511w39k7v224gq80000gn/T/#sql4e6_1_2.MYI' (Errcode: 13)

Any ideas about what this might be or how i could connect?

Usually you'd get that error because the directory that MySQL is using to write temp files to isn't writeable by the mysql user; usually that directory would be /var/tmp or something similar. Try starting mysql with the --tmp-dir=/var/tmp and see if it still complains. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-options.html#option_mysqld_tmpdir

check the port of the apache .... by selecting checkport ... and in the browser set the url as: localhost:(port number)/phpmyadmin
