phpMyAdmin assistance

Post by greeneel »

greetings all,

I installed apache 1.3.28, mysql 4.0.15 and php 4.3.3 for local use.... Now everything is working fine I created the test page called test.php and dropped it into the document root which is C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs ... i type in http://localhost/test.php and the info page came up just fine :D ...

Now onto my problem i wanted to create a database in mysql and I download phpMyAdmin v2.5.3 .. And extracted the phpMyAdmin folder to C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\phpMyAdmin ...now i`ve edited the config file for phpMyAdmin with the following $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\phpMyAdmin'; ....When I bring up the phpMyAdmin index page I type in the database name and click the create button I get a popup box requesting me to Download a file called db_create.php from locally and also when i click on databases i get a popup box askin me to download a file called server_databases.php from locally... Now to the left of the page I can see that phpMyAdmin picked up the test (-) and mysql (6) databases .. and if i click on the main link the same thing happens where it wants me to download a file again..

Is there some thing wrong with this setup of phpMyAdmin

config.inc.php wrote:/**
* Your phpMyAdmin url
*
* Complete the variable below with the full url ie
* http://www.your_web.net/path_to_your_phpMyAdmin_directory/
...
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = '';
not the local path, the http://....-url must be set

ok, let me get it clear it should be http://localhost/phpMyAdmin ?
because the folder is located in the htdocs of apache ?
