We should at least see a section about MySQL (proving that the mysql
extension is available), which gives information about the MySQL Client API version.
We can also try other PHP scripts that make a connection to MySQL, to see if the
problem is more general than just phpMyAdmin not working. As a general rule,
we should be running the latest stable versions of every component.
Base Configuration
We should always double-check the way we made the installation, including proper
permissions and ownerships. Typos may occur when modifying config.inc.php.
Solving Common Errors
To help solve a problem, we should first pinpoint the origin of the error message.
Here are the various components that can generate an error message:
MySQL server: These messages are relayed by phpMyAdmin, which displays
MySQL said followed by the message.
PHP component of the web server: For example, Parser error.
Web server: The error can be seen from the browser, or in the web server's
log files.
Web browser: For example, JavaScript errors.
The Error Messages and Other Problems sections are mostly based on various
messages found on phpMyAdmin's help forum, and in the FAQ section of
Documentation.html.
Error Messages
This section refers to explicit error messages, as displayed by phpMyAdmin.
Cannot Load MySQL Extension
To connect to a MySQL server, PHP needs the MySQL extension, which is a set of
MySQL functions.
