phpMyAdmin - Installation
+-------------------------
- Preface:
- phpMyAdmin can administer a whole MySQL-server (needs a super-user)
- but also a single database. To accomplish the latter you'll need
- a properly set up MySQL-user who can read/write only the desired
- database. It's up to you to look up the appropiate part in the
- MySQL manual.
+ Please have a look to the Documentation.txt or
+ Documentation.html files.
- Quick Install:
- [1] Untar the distribution (be sure to untar the subdirectories)
- tar xvf phpMyAdmin_x.x.x.tar
- [2] Open the file config.inc.php3 in your favourite editor and change
- the values for host, user and password to fit your environment.
- Have a lok at Documentation.html for an explanation of all values.
- [3] It is recommended that you protect the directory in which
- you installed phpMyAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet),
- for example with HTTP-AUTH (in a .htaccess-file).
- [4] Open the file <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/index.php3
- in your browser. phpMyAdmin should now display a welcome screen
- and your databases.
- Bookmarks:
- To use the new bookmarks feature, you will have to create a new
- db and table on your system, and to type the informations in
- config.ini.php3. Table definition:
-
- CREATE TABLE bookmark (
- id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,
- dbase varchar(255) NOT NULL,
- user varchar(255) NOT NULL,
- label varchar(255) NOT NULL,
- query text NOT NULL,
- PRIMARY KEY (id)
- );
-
- Installation notes:
- + Be sure to protect the phpMyAdmin-directory. By default, it is not
- protected in any way! It shouldn't be readable by anyone and
- especially not by search-engines. Although I've added a "nofollow"
- directive on every page, there may be search-engines that don't
- care about that and still follow the links on the page.
- Think of AltaVista following a link named "Drop Database"
- You can get an overview of Apache's authentification methods at
- http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth .
- + If you don't use the extension ".php3" for your scripts, you can use
- the bundled script "extchg.sh" to modify phpMyAdmin (or any other script)
- to work with a different extension. Beware though, that currently changing
- the extension from .html to something other won't work (it'd change all
- "string".htmlspecialchars() constructs).
