phpMyAdmin configuration file

[backpacker]

I downloaded phpMyAdmin-2.7.0.tar.gz to directory /root and tar it to there.I found no config.inc.php file and couldn't cd at scripts directory(there is no file set.php).How to install phpMyAdmin?Any help plesase.

Yes, very strange. Just copy config.default.php and rename it to config.inc.php and update it with your info. Worked for me.

Yes,I try it out as Tim teached me and it worked OK.
p.s. Put phpMyAdmin-2.7.0 to my DocumentRoad.
Thank you Tim.

I just had to install phpMyAdmin for someone who doesn't have shell access. The install instructions say you have to create the config.inc.php file. I think the idea is that they don't want to overwrite your settings file when you untar an upgrade it, so they don't have it in the distro.

Man who looks at the install instructions anymore? :-)
