phpMyAdmin 2.11.6 Installation Problem...

Post by PHPMYSQL_Novice »

Greetings all...

I been stuck with this for a while and not sure what to do, followed instruction
from the various websites but to no veil.

I have downloaded the phpMyAdmin 2.11.6.zip file from phpMyadmin.com
As most instructions stated...

Unziped and copied the phpmyadmin folder to the root directory of the Apache web access root folder....(C:/Server/Apache/www)
then create a config folder with in the phpMyAdmin_2_11_6_En folder ...
via web browser access folder scripts/install.php
type password (password) and user name (root) etc.
save...

copied the config.inc.php to the phpMyAdmin folder (root) main area
then via the browser....

//localhost/phpMyAdmin_2_11_6_En/

I dont get the GUI interface...instead I am thrown with a list of all the files
resides in the phpMyAdmin_2_11_6_En Folder..

Index of /phpMyadmin_2_11_6_En

* calendar.php
* changelog.php
* chk_rel.php
* config.inc.php
* config.sample.inc.php
* contrib/
* db_create.php

....etc

I am not sure what I am doing wrong....
phpinfo.php works fine...

My OS WinXP SP3
I have php6.0-Dev
mySQL5.051b
Apache 2.2.8

The steps I went through....

config.inc.php file :

within the php tag

/* Servers configuration */
$i = 0;

/* Server localhost (config:root) [1] */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password';

(through MYSQL terminal window I can connect to mysql fine)

and in httpd.conf files I;ve added the following lines...

httpd.conf:

LoadModule php6_module c:/Server/PHP6_0/php6apache2_2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPIniDir "c:\Server\PHP6_0"

(php6apache2.dll , dont work on mine, so I had to use php6apache2_2.dll then Apache starts)

DocumentRoot "C:/Server/Apache2_2_8/www"

(I am using www folder instead of htdoc so I;ve made changes in places to httpd.conf)

<Directory "C:/Server/Apache2_2_8/www">

phpinfo() works fine and I can see the php information page.


System Variables path:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM;"C:\Server\MySQL5_0_51b\bin;C:\Server\PHP6_0


copied files into windows\system

this time I;ve reboot the pc...

restarted Apache...

now...ready to check..

.....localhost/phpMyAdmin_2_11_6_En/

No phpMyAdmin graphical interface or anything. Its same as above.
Where is the nice pretty graphics or database stuff?
I dont think mine is working for someone reason? I've downloaded
the package from phpMyAdmin websites then I;ve unziped it and
placed the entire thing on root of www folder.
