Installing a new version of phpMyAdmin

Download the new version of phpMyAdmin 4.2.8:
[sourceforge.net]
to get the file "phpMyAdmin-4.2.8-all-languages.zip"

Unzip this file in wamp/apps/ which will give a folder:
"wamp\apps\phpMyAdmin-4.2.08-all-languages"
you rename in:
"wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.2.8"
(All in lower case)

From your previous version of phpMyAdmin, for example:
"wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.2.7"
copy the "config.inc.php" file to the new version:
"wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.2.8\config.inc.php"

Edit "wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf" file to replace the paths (2 times) the old version of phpMyAdmin from the path of the new,
for example, change:

Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.2.7/"

by

Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.2.8/"

AND

<Directory "C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.2.7/">

by

<Directory "C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.2.8/">

Assuming that your installation of WampServer is in C:\wamp. Paths to change depending on your installation.

Do not forget to clear the browser cache.
Note: There must be only one alias file for phpMyAdmin in the folder wamp/alias/

Hi,
What are your versions of Apache, PHP and MySQL (They are listed on the home page WampServer - localhost)?
What is the content of the file wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.2.8/config.inc.php?

Php extensions php_mysql and php_mysqli are activated?

---------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation Apache - Documentation PHP - Documentation MySQL - Wampserver install files & addons

apache 2.4.9

php 5.5.12

mysql 5.6.17


$cfg['Servers'][$i]['verbose'] = 'mysql server';
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';

Hi,

This is not the entire contents of config.inc.php.
If this is the entire contents of the file, it is missing AT LEAST:
At the beginning:

<?php

/* Servers configuration */
$i = 0;

$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'a8b7c6d'; //What you want

/* Server: localhost [1] */
$i++;

At the end:

$cfg['PmaNoRelation_DisableWarning'] = true;
?>

Hi,

I do not understand why you have this error. Looks OK.

Try after emptying the folder wamp/tmp/ and clear the browser cache.
You can also re-create symlinks from PHP to Apache whit the recharging of Apache and PHP versions:
Wampmanager-> apache-> versions-> 2.4.9
Wampmanager-> PHP-> versions-> 5.5.12

cleared tmp broswer cache refreshed restarted and still same error

Hi,

If phpMyAdmin Version 4.1.14 (Originally with Wampserver 2.5) works, there is no reason for phpMyAdmin 4.2.8 does not work.
It may be that there was a corrupt archive, so again with a new download of phpMyAdmin 4.2.8.
