wildteen88 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Installing PHP manually and installing via the installer is completely the same, except the installer attempts to configure the http server you are using automatically for you. I think the installer for windows was an experimental project however it looks asthough it has improved and is stable. I prefer a manual install myself. Also no need to run the setup script for PHPMyAdmin.I prefer to edit the config file myself. You can get this file from phpMyAdmin/libraries you will want to copy config.default.php to the phpMyAdmin folder and then rename this file to config.inc.php. Once you've done that open in Notepad or your preferred PHP editor and change the PMA's configuration to your needs. The configuration file is fully documented so you should be able to adjust the configuration without any trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
