PHPMYADMIN INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS
hello :
I have been able to install, configure, and use apache 2.2, php5, and mysql 5 on windos xp system.
Everything working fine. for example I am able to run mysqli from php and run php programs such as
localhost/myprogram.php.
However, when I extracted phpmyadmin stuff into phpmyadmin folder below the htdocs subfolder, then tried to run
localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php, I got the following error msg:
phpmyadmin error
Cannot start session without errors, please check errors given in your PHP and/or webserver log file and configure your PHP installation properly.
the phpmyadmin subfolder and its files are totally ignored, why?

PHPMYADMIN INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS
thank you for your reply. I checked the error log file. But there is nothing. It is as if apache does not recognize what is going on inside the phpmyadmin folder

Code: Select all
<?php echo 'ini: ', get_cfg_var('cfg_file_path'); ?>Code: Select all
error_reporting = E_ALL
display_errors = true
display_startup_errors = trueSave the php.ini file and restart apache. Use

PHPMYADMIN INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION PROBLEMS
thank you for your help.
I was finally able to display the welcome page after entering my password.
However, at the bottome of the page I get these two error messages:
1.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.
2.Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration
I uncommented the appropriate extensions in the php.ini file. It still did not work
Do I have to reinstall the entire php or try to download separately php_mbstring.dll and mcrypt.dll?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

just a thought, but why not try something like http://www.wampserver.com/en/ its a preconfigured apache/mysql/php single installer with phpmyadmin, might save you some headaches.
Wow! I have been experiencing the same issue on my pc using Apache2/php5 and all paths/dirs/ext's have been set and enabled correctly. After installing phpMyAdmin I came across the following error:
Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration.
I have been scouring the net looking for solutions and have not found anything solid.
Using WAMP would be good however it would still be nice to see how to resolve this issue. Since my machine is strictly for tests I'm not too pressed.
Hopefully someone will come along with a valid solution.
