It is quite possible. Remove the "recommended" from php.ini-recommended and place it in C:\Windows.

You probably have the path set wrong in the config.inc.php. Make sure it's set accordingly to where you have your phpMyAdmin located.

now when i create a database i get this error

Server:localhostlocalhost
db_create.php: Missing parameter: db

but in my config.inc.php
i replaced localhost with my no-ip adress
i always have problems :(

iNaNimAtE

No, keep localhost as localhost in your config.inc.php file.

hi is there any way to make it come up with a username and password box aand wen u enter it it goes in under that username insted of da main one?

iNaNimAtE

Yes there is. ZPanel uses that feature of phpMyAdmin to do that, so I suggest you download ZPanel, and inspect how they do it.

I got same problem after putting http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/
Error message is
"cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".
What should i do.?
Server light is green.

Go to the PHP Problems section--I just recently explained this.

I got up to the bit where you set the username/password, i get the following error:
[1.20] I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration".
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs a set of MySQL functions called "MySQL extension". This extension may be part of the PHP distribution (compiled-in), otherwise it needs to be loaded dynamically. Its name is probably mysql.so or php_mysql.dll. phpMyAdmin tried to load the extension but failed.

You must make sure you have the php_mysql.dll file in your PHP directory. If you don't, download the PHP ZIP, and unzip it into there.

First of all : Great tutorial, thx a lotl!!!
I seem to have the same problem as explained above:
[1.20] I receive the error "cannot load MySQL extension, please check PHP Configuration"…….
Where can I find the PHP ZIP file??

I just dealt with this today so it just happens to be fresh on my mind. Did you set up the php.ini file and remove the semicolon from the front of extension=php_mysql? If not be sure to do that. And if you don't have the php_mysql.dll file extension? You can get it from [url=http://www.php.net]here[/b] (Under downloads, it's the source code zip for Windows). You don't need to unzip the whole file (I didn't anyways) but be sure to keep it in the /PHP/ dir not PHP/extensions or PHP/ext. This is what I did and it managed to work.

i had the same problem as everyone here :)
the missing php_mysql.dll and the semicolon in the ini-file
now that is solved thanx to this tutorial i have still another prob
my server doesnt work on port 80 because my isp blocks that port ...
so i use another port and now when i enter phpmyadmin al appears correctly but all links and functions that refer to http://localhost dont work because for me it should be http://localhost:port/....
what can i do about that?

sjamaz

rightclick and copy linklocation
then past in browser and type :port after localhost :D

Hello, I am a novice to this and I just got this consistent problem. Everytime I try to get to phpMyAdmin, everything seems fine, but it keep giving me this error:
Security Alert! The PHP CGI cannot be accessed directly.
This PHP CGI binary was compiled with force-cgi-redirect enabled. This means that a page will only be served up if the REDIRECT_STATUS CGI variable is set, e.g. via an Apache Action directive.
could someone help!!!
