phpmyadmin install issues

bufhal

I am trying to install phpmyadmin on a webserver. After opening the Zip, pulled the files over manually to the server. I know the directions state:
Untar or unzip the distribution (be sure to unzip the subdirectories): tar -xzvf phpMyAdmin_x.x.x.tar.gz in your webserver's document root.

How do I unzip the subdirectories and get them in the folder for phpmyadmin on the server?
I have done all the configarations..

Any help is greatly apprecited..

If you've unzipped the file on your computer...all of the sub-directories should be shown. Just upload those folders and files to your phpmyadmin folder on the webserver using an ftp program.

Thanks;
I have done that and configured the config.inc.php file. It still does not work. After carefully reviewing the install directions, they kept refering to **be sure to upload subdirectories. Uploading this to the webserver, I see all the files are in there, but I keep getting the same error:
Error Occurred While Processing Request
Error Diagnostic Information
An error has occurred.

HTTP/1.0 404 Object Not Found

when I try to get to

http://localhost/mydomain.org/phpmyadmin/index.php

What have I done wrong. I cannot get to the welcome page. Please Help.
Thank you

Since you are doing this locally, is it possible that the server is not configured correctly?

sorry-when i put "localhost", it is rgbinternet, a web hosting company. I am still learning this-does that make sense?
This is the third try to upload-configure-and try to get to the welcome page of phpmyadmin...I reallly want to use the program-I've heard it is fairly easy and very robust..Unless you know of an easier MySQL editing tool?
Thanks

Did you upload the code into a folder called phpmyadmin? If not, then you could just type in the name of your domain and see what that gives you.

bufhal

yes it is in phpmyadmin and I am still getting
HTTP/1.0 404 Object Not Found
Seems like it cannot find the index.php file within phpmyadmin
But I did all the necessary confis and that file required no changes...

I have uploaded the files for phpmyadmin to my webserver and have had trouble getting to the welcome page. It was because there was not a libraries directory with certain files in it. I have created the libraries directory and have put 4 "requested via error messages" files in there but now it is stuck on the one error message even though I put the file in..
here it is:
Warning: main(./lang/english-iso-8859-1.inc.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in E:\www\immunizewny_org\phpmyadmin\libraries\select_lang.lib.php on line 264

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required './lang/english-iso-8859-1.inc.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in E:\www\immunizewny_org\phpmyadmin\libraries\select_lang.lib.php on line 264

Does anyone know what files are supposed to be in the libraries? The docs do not mention...
Thanks
