Hi there. I am really having some problems getting my system setup for local development. I really want to use Apache, PHP 5.3 and PHPMyAdmin. I seem to do ok installing the Apache server and getting PHP linked up and running scripts.

The problem is I am not finding very good sites with information about installing MYADMIN and also the info I am finding is about older versions of PHP and also Apache.

If someone would not mind helping me out I would REALLY appreciate your help. Even if you know of a great link to info about this. Thank you very much in advance.

phpMyAdmin doesn't require any configuration in its default state, just download phpMyAdmin (zip) from phpmyadmin.net.

Create a new folder called  phpmyadmin within Apaches htdocs folder (I think the default path is C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs). Now extract the zip to the folder you just created.

Next rename the file config.sample.inc.php. to config.inc.php. Now open http://localhost/phpmyadmin and away you go.

 

PHPMyAdmins configuration file is the config.inc.php script just edit it as necessary. Documentation is available at phpmyadmin.net.

You know, I was getting an error about logs and then an error about the mysqli extension. Well, I installed WAMP, I have to say that was pretty easy, and I am sorry to bother you with my noob questions. WAMP saved the day! Thanks guys.
