I have been following this guide http://www.webdevinfo.com/articles/41/1 to creating your own web server. Everything has gone fine up until page 6, the final page and I found there was nothing there, it is supposed to tell me how to install PHPMyAdmin. Could anyone tell me how to install it successfully or point me to a guide about setting up your own webserver, one that works completley?
Cheers
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/ - worked for me ;)
silly question, but have you properly installed php and mysql yet?
Yes, silly question. Installed both properly, I know they both work (well PHP works, I have the MySQL admin thing running so that must work aswell. I also got Apache server running aswell.Quote:

That confuses me.Quote:
Open the file config.inc.php in your favorite editor and change the values for host, user, password and authentication mode to fit your environment. Here, "host" means the MySQL server. Also insert the correct value for $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri']. Have a look at Configuration section for an explanation of all values.
I just found the following in the config.inc.php
So doesn't that mean it is already set (as I am running as localhost)Code:['host'] = 'localhost';
why not look for apache triad here. This should auto setup php.. apache and mysql. I know you already have done this by hand. Which is admirable but the install will not be as standard as this one is.
Then I downloaded phpMyAdmin. unrared it, and just put the phpMyAdmin directory into the correct directory for my webserver. So that I can access it on http://localhost/phpMyAdmin... I think that is all I did to get phpMyAdmin going. A very useful tool indeed...
good luck !
