[SOLVED] Noob unable to run phpMyAdmin setup script

[ElvishSlade]

Hi all,

 

New to the forum, have been googling for hours and for the life of me cannot sort this out, so I am relying on your expertise and mercy.

 

MySQL 5.0 (accessible via command line interface, so far unable to test php connectivity as i cant work out how, and i hope to use phpMyAdmin primarily)

 

PHP 5 (working, check it out here http://snowie.b33r.net/displayforum.php , all my own work. We all have to start somewhere, it just appends a txt doc)

 

phpMyAdmin-2.11.7-all-languages-utf-8-only (unzipped to the htdocs folder of Apache server)

 

Apache 2.2 (also working and connected to php as per above link)

 

 

So, the trouble is that when I run setup.php from the scripts folder in phpMyAdmin I get the following result in Firefox 3.0

.............................etc etc etc

 

I had a look at the manual conf, but the file config.inc.php does not exist, and the file config.sample.inc.php does not contain all the settings mentioned in most walkthroughs.

 

config.sample.inc.php

<?php
/* vim: set expandtab sw=4 ts=4 sts=4: */
/**
* phpMyAdmin sample configuration, you can use it as base for
* manual configuration. For easier setup you can use scripts/setup.php
*
* All directives are explained in Documentation.html and on phpMyAdmin
* wiki <http://wiki.cihar.com>.

*/

/*
* This is needed for cookie based authentication to encrypt password in
* cookie
*/
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; /* YOU MUST FILL IN THIS FOR COOKIE AUTH! */

/*
* Servers configuration
*/
$i = 0;

/*
* First server
*/
$i++;
/* Authentication type */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
/* Server parameters */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
/* Select mysqli if your server has it */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
/* User for advanced features */
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = 'pmapass';
/* Advanced phpMyAdmin features */
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma_history';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords';

/*
* End of servers configuration
*/

/*
* Directories for saving/loading files from server
*/
$cfg['UploadDir'] = '';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = '';

?>

 

What I would really like is someone to help work out why the setup script does not work, other than that, a good guide for manual conf will suffice.

 

Thanks all

How are you accessing setup.php? You should be going to http://yoursite.com/phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php

[ElvishSlade]

i have been clicking the file in windows explorer

I knew it would be something simple, but now i just feel like an idiot.

 

This did it

localhost/phpMyAdmin-2.11.7-all-languages-utf-8-only/scripts/setup.php
