phpMyAdmin fails to run on Vista

2 New Member
I am running Vista Ultimate on a Asus P5LD2 motherboard with a 2.8 GHz Intel D CPU, 3 GB of memory and lots of disk space. No problems with other applications or services. IIS 7.0 is installed and running, and I can browse to files in inetpub/wwwroot.

I have just installed PHP 4.4.7 (this is for testing and the target server doesn't support 5.x) and the latest version of MySQL (5.0.37). Both seem to be working properly. Browsing a test file invoking phpInfo () produces the expected output (including confirmation that MySQL support is loaded), and the MySQL command line connects to the server and behaves sanely.

I installed phpMyAdmin 2.10.1 according to the instructions (into inetpub\wwwroot \phpMyAdmin). When I tried to use the phpMyAdmin configuration wizard, I got a "page not found" error. I confirmed that a copy of my php test file placed in the appropriate directory worked correctly, so there wasn't a path problem, but I then decided to create a config file manually. I mention this problem in case it provides a clue to what follows.

Now, invoking phpMyAdmin/index.php produces a blank page with a two-tone red error flag at the top, which says, supremely unhelpfully, "phpMyAdmin - Error".

Does anyone have any clues as to what might be going on

im not sure what the problem is either since that is the same error that i seem to be getting and im running vista ultimate. i have apache, php and mysql installed and running correctly. when i installed these i noticed they wouldn't run normally in vista and i had to install them differently than i wouldve on an xp or unix machine. i think that is the same problem with this but im not sure what to do

I did get the problem solved - with the help of some of the folks in the Sourceforge phpAdmin forums. It may be worth your searching on my name there, since it is so long ago that I have no memory of exactly what the solution was - as I recall, there was a necessary and somewhat unintuitive setting in php.ini and/or the phpMyAdmin config file that needed to be changed/corrected.
