Install phpMyAdmin
Installing phpMyAdmin should be very simple and will test to insure PHP, MySQL, and Apache are all talking.
phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the WWW. Currently it can create and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields.
- Unzip the install file. EX: c:\disks\phpmyadmin\phpMyAdmin-2.5.3-rc2-php.zip
- Create a directory in your web root named 'phpMyAdmin'. I recommend keeping the same case as listed as modt live web servers do as well. (ex: c:\www\phpMyAdmin\).
- Copy the contents of the zip into this new folder.
- Edit the c:\www\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php file and modify <![CDATA[$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='';]]> to <![CDATA[$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='<mysql_root_password>';]]> This is the password your created when intalling MySQL.
- Point your browser to http:///phpMyAdmin/ (ex: http://v2k-spier/phpMyAdmin/)
You are all finished installing phpMyAdmin !!
