Installing on different platforms
The next step depends on the platform you are using. The following sections detail
the procedures for some common platforms. You may proceed directly to the
relevant section.
Installing on a remote server using a Windows
client
Using the Windows Explorer, we double-click on the
phpMyAdmin-3.4.5-all-
languages.zip
file we just downloaded on the Windows client. A file extractor
should start, showing us all the scripts and directories inside the main
phpMyAdmin-
3.4.5-all-languages
directory.
Use whichever mechanism your file extractor offers to save all the files, including
sub-directories, to some location on your workstation. Here, we have chosen
C:\
.
Therefore, a
C:\phpMyAdmin-3.4.5-all-languages
directory has been created by
the extractor.
Now, it's time to transfer the entire directory structure
C:\phpMyAdmin-3.4.5-all-
languages
to the web server in our web space. We use our favorite SFTP or FTP
software or the web control panel for the transfer.
The exact directory under which we transfer phpMyAdmin may vary. It could be
our
public_html
directory or another directory where we usually transfer web
documents to. For further instructions about the exact directory to be used or the best
way to transfer the directory structure, we can consult our host provider's help desk.
After the transfer is complete, these files can be removed from our Windows machine
as they are no longer needed.
Installing on a local Linux server
Let us say we chose
phpMyAdmin-3.4.5-all-languages.tar.gz
and downloaded
it directly to some directory on the Linux server. We move it to our web server's
document root directory (for example,
/var/www/html
) or to one of its sub-
directories (for example,
/var/www/html/utilities
). We then extract it with the
following shell command or by using any graphical file extractor that our window
manager offers:
tar -xzvf phpMyAdmin-3.4.5-all-languages.tar.gz
We must ensure that the permissions and ownership of the directory and files
are appropriate for our web server. The web server user or group must be able to
read them.
