erix920,
The error is self-explicit:

cannot load mysql extension; please check PHP configuration Documentation

See our previous message and install our preconfigured PHP 5 package.

erix920

I dont get how people get this to work, or i just didnt pay attension to the directions, if anyone can simplify this, please send me an email at erix920@yahoo.com
Thankz - Eric

erix920,
The fact the MySQL red light is shown has nothing to do with PHP. It seems that you should reinstall MySQL or fix the problem that causes it to not being running correctly.

ok i have installed PHP, MySQL, Abyss Web Server
its all in the correct Place but when i click mysqladmin in Abyss Web Server\database\mysql\bin it opens what i think is CMD box then closes again can u please tell me why this is happening.

aprelium

Tiffer,
MySQLAdmin isn't required to have MySQL run. When installing MySQL, it is better to configure it as a service. That way it will be started on boot time and remain available in the background as a service.

Hi,
I need to run the abyss server on port 13375 instead of 80, so the url of phpMyAdmin is http://localhost:13375/phpMyAdmin/ in my case. Sry, if this problem was already solved somewhere on these pages, but on the index of phpMyAdmin none of the links work, and no images are being displayed because they are all linked to http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/.
The "Show MySQL runtime information" link e.g. points to:
http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/server_status.php?lang=en-iso-8859-1&server=1
but should point to:
http://localhost:13375/phpMyAdmin/server_status.php?lang=en-iso-8859-1&server=1
or even better to:
http://www.mydomain.com:13375/phpMyAdmin/server_status.php?lang=en-iso-8859-1&server=1
What do I have to do, to make phpMyAdmin always connect to port 13375?
Thx for your help,
TB2
/edit:
And btw it always points to the localhost, but I need it to point to mydomain.com:13375 so that I can acces phpMyAdmin also from outside and not only from the local machine...

TB2, you need to specify the port in your config.inc.php file.

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://mydomain.com:13375/phpMyAdmin/';

TB2

Yeah it works, thx a lot!!!
Maybe that should be mentioned in the tutorial, too, for dumb people like me...

No problem, friend. Don't feel dumb. ;)
I'm sure many have overlooked this small detail.

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?

elwood

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:

1. Create a new folder called scripts in your Abyss program root
directory...

I did that.

2. Unpackage phpMyAdmin 2.4.0 and go one level deep...

The only folders there were CSS, lang, Libraries, Scripts and Themes.

3. Rename the last phpMyAdmin 2.4.0 folder to phpMyAdmin... Drag that folder into the scripts folder located in the Abyss program root
directory...

Because the only folders inside the phpMyAdmin 2.6.4 folder were CSS, lang, Libraries, Scripts and Themes, I put the entire phpMyAdmin 2.6.4 in the root directory and renamed it "phpMyAdmin".
Other than that, as best I can tell I followed the instructions as outlined. Thanks.

elwood,
Can you please send your abyss.conf file to support@aprelium.com and let us know what is the exact URL that gives you this error? Please do not forget to add a reference to this forum message.

jiajin

i have followed the instructions everything seems ok to me except when i try to access

http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/

i cannot seem to see a GUI page

TRUSTAbyss

You did not install PHP correctly , have a look at these instructions.

jiajin

OK thanks very much it worked for me..

ShadowDeath01

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.

Is there anyway way to get around this? I need 4.1 installed to run some hacks that are not compatible to PHP 5. All of my passwords and user names are matching. I ran into my problem when I changed the root password via phpMyAdmin.
I'm stumped.
