phpmyadmin -need help

[venkatasu]

I have successfully installed php5,mysql5 and apache2.2 in windows xp and working fine. When I installed phpmyadmin latest ver which i downloaded from the net, its throwing the following error message.

The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret).

I tried in the google for a solution and I even gave a word within single quotes in the config.php.ini file with no use.

can any one help.

thanks in advance.

Never ran into this myself, but from http://safari.oreilly.com/9780596514013/using_phpmyadmin:

If you're using XAMPP and you get the error "The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret)," you'll need to change the line $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = ''; to $cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'value'; in the file phpmyadmin/config.inc.php.
