Guide: How to Install phpMyAdmin

elwood · - Joined: 11 Sep 2005 Posts: 2

I am trying to get phpMyAdmin to run on my Abyss Web Server. I have php 5 installed. I have installed MySql and have the "green light". I have followed the tutorial on installing phpMyAdmin to the best of my understanding. When I call up http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/, however, all I get is the following message: "No input file specified." I did a quick search on this message, but was not able to find anything. I would appreciate any help anyone could offer.

elwood,

This error occurs when you have a wrong setup of PHP 5 in Abyss Web Server. Have you declared the PHP interpreter's type to be "PHP Style" in Scripting Parameters > Interpreters?

Yes, I have confirmed that the Interpreter is set to "C:\php\php-cgi.exe" and style is set to "PHP Style". I am able to view other PHP pages without difficulty.

There was one point on the installation of phpMyAdmin that I was confused on, however. The version of phpMyAdmin that I downloaded was 2.6.4. The instructions said:

I did everything that you said to do in the tutorial, until you said to edit the config.ini.php, I don't have one of those. So, I just skipped, and then, after I got done, I went to http://localhost/phpMyAdmin, and it just showed an index of all the phpMyAdmin files, please help. Thanks.

Master-, welcome to the forums.
See if you have php_mysql.dll in your PHP\ext folder, then uncomment ;extension=php_mysql.dll in your php.ini file.
If you don't have it, then install the PHP5 preconfigured package from HERE. It comes with all the required extensions
already enabled.

i downloaded "phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl2" but it seems it dont have a file called config.inc.php
Any help here?

pogolink, welcome to the forums.
Newer versions of phpmyadmin don't include this file anymore.
Make a copy of config.default.php and rename the copy to config.inc.php. ;)

Great support and help. Love the forum...

Anyway, im having alittle toruble. I have downloaded the latest php5 (one given above for download) and installed it to C:\Program Files\PHP5. Well, when I go to C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\scripts\phpMyAdmin I get the infamous error saying "Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation". I also copied the "ext" files into the phpMyAdmin folder, and it didnt change anything. Now in the documentation it says "Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed." The php_mysql.dll I have made sure was copied into the phpMyAdmin folder and into the ext in the PHP5. Still gave error.

Please help, I have been reading 10 different guides, and not much is helping. Thanks so much...

theslam2006, welcome to the forums. :)

First, you don't need to put the ext folder in phpmyadmin. Only in PHP5.
Look in php.ini file and make sure the mysql extension is NOT commented out.

Hmm. I looked through it, but I dont really know what im looking for. I looked at the extentions area, but the php_mysql.dll is there.

It possible you could take a look at it for me? I would be very greatful. Thanks alot...

Get it HERE.

Ok. In your php.ini, you need to uncomment the mysql extension by deleting the ";" symbol at the beginning of the line.

Gr. I think im gonna give up. Its still saying the same thing. I have the latest phpmyadmin, and i have that php5 folder IN the phpmyadmin. I also have it in C:\Program Files\PHP5. Not sure why its not working...thanks for all the help so far tho...

Moxxnixx · - Joined: 21 Jun 2003 Posts: 1226 Location: Florida

Get rid of the php5 in your phpmyadmin folder. You only need the one installation
in your C:\Program Files.

Recheck the php.ini in that directory and make sure the mysql extension is uncommented
as shown in my post above. If it doesn't work, explain what errors, if any, you get in detail.

Well, something worked for once. I got in, but I seem to get a new error now. If it has been answered before now, I will look in the past pages.

This is the new error: [URL=New Error]

[/URL]

Thanks so much. Your helping me get this up...hopefully after all this, I will get what Ive needed lol.

Check to make sure mysql is running by looking in your Task Manager.

theslam2006 · - Joined: 29 Jan 2006 Posts: 5

YAY. I got in. I can see everything now. Thats what the problem was with that, the WinMySQLadmin 1.4 couldnt connect (i couldnt figure it out) until i read the help file. I needed to delete the my.ini in C:\windows. Once I did that, it allowed me to create my user name and pass, and it connects now (as you can see in the pic). I have a few errors on there, but ill see if I can fix them. For now, im good. Thanks again man. Ill be back if needed.

Great. Glad to hear it.
Now you just need to add a password to your config.inc.php.
Also, the mbstring extension is another one to uncomment in your php.ini file.

I have been trying numerous times to get phpmyadmin to work...

couldn't find version 4, so I have version 5. Heres what it says:

The MySQL extension isnt active in php.ini. Activate it manually by removing the comment ( ; ) or download the preconfigured php5 package.

Thanks for the help...

I downloaded the php5 (preconfigured), and all is working...smoothly...

Now my only problem is that I cannot get any of it to work (besides the GUI), all I get is a 404 error...

Any insight on this "little" problem?

Please be more specific. What is giving you a "404"?

TEMP-FlyingIsFun1217 · - Joined: 13 Mar 2006 Posts: 13

well, to put the best that I can, when I click a link in the phpmyadmin program, it shows up with the dreaded "404 error, Not Found" message.

Make sure you have the correct PmaAbsoluteUri in the config.inc.php.

TEMP-FlyingIsFun1217 · - Joined: 13 Mar 2006 Posts: 13

the PmaAbsoluteUri... is that the one that follows with the site address?

and since I'm running this on my own computer, I would just type in "localhost" for that?

Thanks for helping a true noob,

You either type your internet IP or if you have a domain, your domain and the path to phpmyadmin.

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' pretty much says it all.

Your not using the correct password for the username "root". Check your phpmyadmin config file.

ok...

now that I can get the phpmyadmin program running...

phpmyadmin seems to time out every time I click a link (the loading bar just sits empty until it shows a time-out message...)

Help... :(
