i've had succesfull installation on winXP(not at the root dir) and until it display the error page when i tried to open the phpmyadmin homepage.. the error page displayed message like this:
"phpMyAdmin - Error"
"Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration. - Documentation"
so i uninstalled it, removed the directory then reinstalled it on the root dir and it keep displaying the same error (i didnt change any config files after the installation)...
anyone can help to get rid of this? thanks.

starting with php version 5.0, php came with mysql extension disabled by default. the current version of wamp comes with php version 5.2.0, however, wamp comes with the mysql extension enabled.

have you edited your php.ini file at all? do you have any other versions apache other then wamp's apache installed?

dont worry though,you can use the wamp tray icon menu to enable the mysql extension. start wamp, then left click on the wamp tray icon.

PHP Settings -> PHP Extensions -> php_mysql

make sure there is a triangle next to php_mysql. if there is not one, then click on php_mysql and wamp will enable the extension and then restart apache so the new setting can take effect.

i have the same problem but there is a triangle next to php_mysql. please help!

do you have any other versions of mysql installed on your computer?

to access phpmyadmin use:

[localhost]

make sure you remember to always use the trailing slash ( / ).

I have the problem too. I DO have the triangle next to the php_mysql. Installed fine on laptop but will not fly on this machine.

Have changed root password in MySQL but this was not working before that. In last installation had to change a password somewhere but cannot remeber where.

Thanks in advance

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the mysql extension installed and all I get is

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.



What is going on with this version???????????????

see my phpmyadmin tutorial here:
