Getting many errors with phpMyAdmin

These cryptic "missing" errors aren't documented anywhere

[nysus1]

I just installed phpMyAdmin onto my Windows XP machine running php version 4.3.1 and mysql version 4.0.13-nt. The welcome page pulls up fine. And I can browse the contents of my databases and tables with no problem.

But the trouble begins when I try selecting a database in the left frame. I get a "left.php: Missing hash".

Then, when I try to a new table, I see the following:

Server 127.0.0.1
tbl_create.php: Missing db
tbl_create.php: Missing table

Attempting to add a new row for a field generates this:

tbl_replace.php: Missing db
tbl_replace.php: Missing table
tbl_replace.php: Missing goto

These error messages don't show up in the phpmyadmin docs or even a Google search. Can someone help?

does it give "warning" messages on the welcome page? eg "xyz must be set"?

I figured it out. I had a bad URL in the configuration file.
