I am new to linux and I never believed it could be this difficult to install an application my system: a fresh install of FC3 fully updated on a new intel desktop I am installing phpMyAdmin and I have extracted the files to /usr/phpMyAdmin-2.6.1-pl3/ I have edited the config.inc.php according to the installation instructions and I have turned off zlib compression as stated in the troubleshooting FAQ. I even went to the phpMyAdmin help forum at sourceforge and read an UNSOLVED thread with my exact same problem http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1242004&forum_id=72909 PROBLEM: logged in as root when I use my browser to look at http://localhost/usr/phpMyAdmin-2.6.1-pl3/index.php or http://localhost/phpMyAdmin I see a BLANK page logged in as another user I see a page of text output that I dont understand but I did check that it is NOT simply the file that is being echoed to the screen here is a copy of the relevant my config.inc.php $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/usr/phpMyAdmin-2.6.1-pl3/'; $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri_DisableWarning'] = FALSE; $cfg['PmaNoRelation_DisableWarning'] = FALSE; $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; $i = 0; $i++; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = FALSE; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie'; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['only_db'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose_check'] = TRUE; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowRoot'] = TRUE; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['order'] = ''; $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules'] = array(); $cfg['ServerDefault'] = 1; $cfg['Server'] = ''; unset($cfg['Servers'][0]); I really would appreciate any help on this problem of mine as it is holding me up and stopped all my plans for a website
