Darkwaldo Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 When I access phpMyAdmin, I get an "invalid server index" error at the bottom of the screen where I believe the mySQL information should be. Does anyone know what is causing this problem? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/73996-solved-phpmyadmin-invalid-server-index/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenway Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Sounds like a config problem... can you access the database directly? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/73996-solved-phpmyadmin-invalid-server-index/#findComment-373525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwaldo Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Sounds like a config problem... can you access the database directly? I'm afraid I don't know how. I haven't created a database yet, and the book I am using to get the operating environment up and running does not say anything about creating a data base for phpmyadmin to work correctly.

wildteen88 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I think what fenyway means by "directly" is creating a database through mysql itself (via the command line) rather than using a third party app to manage mysql. However I think the invalid server index message is to do with phpmyadmins configuration file. To sort the error see if the following sorts it out: Go the libraries folder inside phpmyadmin and copy a file called config.default.php to the root of your phpmyadmin folder. Rename this file to config.inc.php (make sure you remove/rename the existing config.inc.php file). Edit the new config.inc.php to your mysql server settings. Try running phpmyadmin again.

As always, thank you for your help, wildteen.
