Re: Problems with a new install

Hello all. I'm hoping that there's someone out there that might have some insight to how to help with my situation.

I am working on trying to build a test environment for a proof of concept. I have installed PHP 5.2.3, MySQL 5.0.27-community-nt, running on IIS for Windows XP Pro with all latest service packs and patches installed. I can get pages to be served by the installation, but what I'd also like to do is get PHPMyAdmin working. I've downloaded and unarchived PHPMyAdmin 2.10.3 for both English, and All languages. I can get the login (index.php) as well as the setup utility pages to load, but nothing more will work from there.

When I try to login to the PMA using a user/pass defined in the MySQL database, I get no error messages, but it just reloads the login page.

When I try to run through the various buttons for the setup utility, it creates a zero-byte config.inc.php file in the config folder, and never shows anything more than the buttons on the page.

I've found the gothcas like the upload_tmp_dir and sessions.save_dir and redirected those to a folder that actually exists on the machine. I've given the IUSR_machinename account privileges to all the PHP folders, as well as the temp folder. I've even gone so far as to add the user to the Administrators local group to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas that I might not yet have tried? Would it be better to install the Apache server (HTTPD)? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

PHPMyAdmin works fine under IIS (although I like Apache a lot more).

Did you try asking your questions in the PHPMyAdmin support forums? That's normally the place to ask for problems like this.

This newsgroup is for questions on how to code PHP, not how to get products written in PHP to work.
