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:

phpMyAdmin 2.5.2-pl1 wrote
Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.5.2-pl1
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
Error
MySQL said:
Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

any insight to this problem? Im running mysql version 5, so it shouldnt have a problem with outdating, should it? I have also checked the config file, and everythings in order...
Thanks for the help,

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

TEMP-FlyingIsFun1217

well...
I removed the ";" on all that had some form of the mysql name in it...
still doesnt work!!!
whats the preconfigured php5 package (how does it differ from the regular version?)? and, where can I get it?

AbyssUnderground

Its no different from a normal version except this one is preconfigured will all the extensions active. You can get it from http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php5win.html

Thanks,

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

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

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.

Yes, but just putting "localhost' will not work.
You need to enter the exact URL that you will be using to access it, including port # if that is changed.
(example http://localhost:8000/phpmyadmin or http://your domain.com/phpmyadmin)
Edit - Corrected the example

TRUSTAbyss

Sorry to correct you Moxxnixx.

http://localhost:8000/phpMyAdmin

TEMP-FlyingIsFun1217

TEMP-FlyingIsFun1217

ok, new problem...

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
Error
MySQL said:
Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

whats wrong this time?
FlyingIsFun1217

AbyssUnderground

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.

TEMP-FlyingIsFun1217

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... :(

2. Unpackage phpMyAdmin 2.4.0 and go one level deep...
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...
================================
Installation Step Two
1. Right click Abyss in the system tray > Show Console > Server
Configuration > Advanced > Aliases > Add...
2. In Virtual Path enter: "/phpMyAdmin" without the quotes
3. In Real Path enter: "scripts/phpMyAdmin" without the quotes

ok so i unpackaged it the folder is called phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.3
i dunno what you mean by the last folder, because i'm confused on what is the last folder please help!
well anyways, i dragged that whole folder to the scripts folder in abyss web server
i tried to add the alias, but it says that the real path doesn't exist. why?? help!!
now that i got the virtual/real path to work, i went to the phpMyAdmin folder and there is no file that you say is called "config.inc.php" i can't find it. help!!!

When defining the Alias, use the Browse buttons next to the path fields to locate the files/directories easily.
