SusieWoosey Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 OK I give up, what did I do wrong? I got Apache working, I got php working, now I can edit .php files locally. Works a treat.I've installed mySQL and it seems to work, but there is noway I can work it from the command line interface. Hence my attempts at installing phpMyAdmin.I have failed miserably, all I get when I open index.php in my browser is - phpMyAdmin - Error - Cannot load msql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation.I presume that is how phpmyadmin is started?? Or do I use main.php?I have looked at the documentation till I am blue in the face.Help - what have I missed or done wrong. I am very confused as to where the phpmyadmin installlation should go.Suzanne (UK) :( Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/27634-phpmyadmin-installation-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildteen88 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 have a look at [url=http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,95378.0.html]this FAQ Thread[/url]. You need to enable the MySQL extension (php_mysql.dll (not php_mysqli.dll).

SusieWoosey Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks wildteen, yet again you score gold.Well at least I am now into phpmyadmin, but I get this error when I first get in - The mbstring PHP extension was not found and you seem to be using a multibyte charset. Without the mbstring extension phpMyAdmin is unable to split strings correctly and it may result in unexpected results.I expect it's something I haven't set up properly in config?The char set appears to be set at - UTF-8 Unicode (utf8) - what would be best?Best wishes,Suzanne Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/27634-phpmyadmin-installation-help/#findComment-126840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 You need to enable the mbstring extension in the php.ini, search for [b];extension=php_mbstring.dll[/b] and remove the semi-colon at the beginning of the line. Save the php.ini and restart your server. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/27634-phpmyadmin-installation-help/#findComment-127079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
