I am using lynda.com to help teach myself PHP. I was progressing along very well with relatively few problems when I ran into this one.

I need to connect to my localhost phpmyadmin setup page so I can access the phpmyadmin features, the problem is that there is some kind of path problem I believe and I get this message when I try to access the setup page:

Not Found

The requested URL /phpmyadmin/scripts/setup.php was not found on this server.

I have the WAMP server installed, so yes, Apache is installed and I do believe it is set up to allow access for me to this page. So I am lost and have no idea what to do.

I looked forever on Google trying to find someone else that has this problem so I woudln't have to sign up for a forum, but all the other pages were in either Arabic or Portuguese darnit! SO PLEASE help with this problem, Thanks.

    please dont cross post.

    MOD EDIT: ^ what he said. Duplicate thread deleted.

      I have Wamp installed for local developing too and the setup is found. Does your phpmyadmin work in general? Just check the directory that it really exists. PhpMyadmin is located in default place in my installation( C:\wamp\apps\ )

        i figured it out. I too have been taking this course. here's the answer to your dilemma.

        http://localhost/phpmyadmin/setup/

        that's it, don't put setup.com or setup.php, just plain setup, and that brings up the setup page, i don't know when or why they changed it, i'm using version 3.2.0.1 if that means anything. hope this helped
