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
I'm having a similar problem, which is a segmentation fault in the PHP code. It should be in your error_log if that is the case. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to solve the problem, so if you are having the same problem, I don't have a solution yet.
