phpMyAdmin 2.5.6 Installation
-----------------------------------------

1. unzip the distribution .zip file (be sure to unzip the subdirectories) in your webserver's document root. 
	(c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\phpMyAdmin-2.5.6\) - path may change depending on Apache Webserver version
    rename the directory to phpMyAdmin


2. Open the file config.inc.php in Dreamweaver and change the values for host, user, password and authentication mode to fit your environment. Here, "host" means the MySQL server. Also insert the correct value for $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri']. 
	(c:\program files\apache group\apache2\htdocs\phpMyAdmin-2.5.6\config.inc.php)
-----------------------------------------------------------
$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost:8080/phpMyAdmin';
......
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']          = 'localhost'; 
......
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = 'root';      // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = '';  
-----------------------------------------------------------

3. Open the file <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/index.php in your browser. phpMyAdmin should now display a welcome screen and your databases, or a login dialog if using HTTP or cookie authentication mode. 
	(http://localhost:8080/phpMyAdmin/index.php)


==========Optional ====================

4. It is recommended that you protect the directory in which you installed phpMyAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet, or you wish to use HTTP or cookie authentication).
