A warning is in order here: even if phpMyAdmin contains translations for
the user interface, the current version does not have a translation for the
setup itself.
To access the setup script, we can click on the link available in the message we
received previously, which points to http://www.mydomain.com/phpmyadmin/
scripts/setup.php. The following screenshot shows what appears on the
initial execution:

There are two warnings here. We will first deal with the second one??”Not secure
connection. This message appears if we are accessing the web server over HTTP, an
insecure protocol. As we are possibly going to input confidential information like the
user name and password in the setup phase, it's recommended to communicate over
HTTPS at least for this phase. HTTPS uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to encrypt the
communication and make eavesdropping impossible on the line. If our web server
supports HTTPS, we can simply follow the proposed link, which will restart the
setup process??”this time over HTTPS. Our example supposes we do so.
The first warning tells us that phpMyAdmin did not find a writable directory with
the name config and this is normal as it was not present in the downloaded kit.
As the directory is not yet there, we observe that the Save and Load buttons in the
interface are grey.
