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.

              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
