[SOLVED]phpMyAdmin AWOL-have posted this before but still...
I used to access phpMyAdmin through my browser when creating databases locally on my machine. The other day for no apparent reason when I opened the browser it tried to connect to the internet (this m/c is not connected) then said that the page is unavailable offline or that the page cannot be found.
Then if I try and open phpMyAdmin directly it just says cannot connect to the database.
Also php files that used to work, no longer do
Im about to wipe it and reinstall apache, php and phpMyAdmin.
Has anyone got any ideas before i do this???
Cheers in advance

no i havnt done any ugrades or updates.
The only thing i did do is download the manual from php.net but apart from that i used it all fine one day then a few days later everything had changed

Yes both apache and MySQL are installed and aphache is running.
It is Windows XP and I have not installed any service packs. Do you mean that I need to install a service pack OR if I had installed one it may be the problem?
See I can still run php pages but it must be in a sub folder of 'htdocs' under the apache directory

i know i posted this ages ago but.....
i still havnt managed to sort out this problem
can anyone tell me if it is a problem with php or apache or how i can find out?
i just dont get it because any php scripts will not work in htdocs but they will in a subfolder - so this is not ideal but i can work with it for the time being the big problem is that i cannot access phpMyAdmin through IE - i just get the 'This page Cannot Be Displayed' page.
i really need help with this as i have a new project to start and i cant until i sort this out
thanks

First thing to do is check if you have access to any HTML through apache. I that works can you access a php file with...
If that works it is likely to be the configuration of phpPgAdmin.
Hope this helps a bit.
Code: Select all
<?php
phpinfo();
?>Hope this helps a bit.

that works
yup that works - i get the long table with all of the config info on it, thats right yeah?
so i have to change something in the phpMyAdmin config? sorry to be a bit thick but how do i go about that, see i didnt install the package on my machine so im a bit clueless when it comes to the setup of apache and phpMyAdmin.
do you have any idea how the configuration file would have been changed in the first place because im the only person that uses this machine and im pretty sure i didnt do anything to them.
cheers for ur help

Now that is where I am stuck as I only use phpPgAdmin for Postgres. As far as I am aware though... within the phpMyAdmin directory(Which should a hosted directory) there is be a Documentation.txt/Documentation.html file which should be able to give you some guidelines..
Sorry I cannot actually give you more of an answer..
