Greetings,
I'm following the phpMyAdmin install documentation, and i'm upto:
"Instead of manually editing config.inc.php, you can use the Setup
Script. First you must manually create a folder config in the
phpMyAdmin directory. This is a security measure. On a Linux/Unix
system you can use the following commands:
cd phpMyAdmin (done - was actually )
mkdir config (done) # create directory for saving
chmod o+rw config (done) # give it world writable permissions
And to edit an existing configuration, copy it over first:
cp config.inc.php config/ # copy current configuration for ed$
chmod o+w config/config.inc.php # give it world writable permissions
On other platforms, simply create the folder and ensure that your web
server has read and write access to it. FAQ 1.26 can help with this.
Next, open setup/ in your browser.
here, where i enter "open setup/" into the command line, a directory box pops up with the files:
config.php
frames folder
index.php
lib folder
scripts.js
styles.css
validate.php
NOTHING INITIALISES THE INSTALL?
the documentation then goes on:
Note that changes are not saved to disk until explicitly choose Save from the Configuration area of the screen. Normally the script saves the new config.inc.php to the config/
directory, but if the webserver does not have the proper permissions
you may see the error "Cannot load or save configuration." Ensure that
the config/ directory exists and has the proper permissions - or use
the Download link to save the config file locally and upload (via FTP
or some similar means) to the proper location.
(none of the above takes place - i only receive a directory box with the files of "setup" being shown.)
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Stephen
