    hello Everybody,

    I have Apache 2.0, Php 5.2 and MySql 5+ installed on my Windows.

    I Installed all of these using the following tutorials !

    ricocheting..com/how-to-install-on-windows/apache
    ricocheting..com/how-to-install-on-windows/php
    ricocheting..com/how-to-install-on-windows/mysql
    ricocheting..com/how-to-install-on-windows/other
    (please remove the double dots to access URLs)

    Till the First three installations everything worked well, there were no bugs at all.

    Then i installed phpmyadmin following the last tutorial i mentioned above.

    But when i open this link

    localhost/phpmyadmin in my browser i get this error

    I would be greatful to anyone who will take time to help me out !!

    Thanks..

    Your php.ini file needs to be edited to open up the extensions, this is done by removing the semi-colon ; in front of the said module.

    Example find these in the php.ini file
    
    ;extension=php_mssql.dll
    ;extension=php_mysql.dll
    ;extension=php_mysqli.dll
    
    Code (markup):
    ...and remove the semi-colon ; so its like this
    
    extension=php_mssql.dll
    extension=php_mysql.dll
    extension=php_mysqli.dll
    
    Code (markup):
    Then save and restart your php sever

    It was just an example... there are many types of modules that might need activating

    
    extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll
    extension=php_sqlite.dll

    You should try a portable MoWeS web server which has PhpMyAdmin preinstalled. You can download it from chsoftware dot net.

    Copy all dll files to your system32 directory and restart Apache.

    setting up a home environment is not an easy task it can take a few hours however you could get a shared hosting plan for $5 and be online in minutes with everything working for you
