Installing PHP 5.3 on Apache 2.2 + PHPMyAdmin

[Sleipnirx86]

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.

You might start by telling us what OS you are using.

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.
