The installation process for phpMyAdmin changed with the release of version 3.1.0. The new setup process is described as "work in progress", so is liable to further changes. The following is a summary of the changes as of version 3.1.0:

  • It is now recommended that you enable the PHP mcrypt extension on 32-bit systems. It is a requirement of 64-bit systems.
  • For mcrypt to work, the PHP folder needs to be in your system path. Alternatively, on Windows, you can copy libmcrypt.dll from the PHP folder to C:\WINDOWS\system32.
  • To avoid warning messages when running the setup script, you should also enable the PHP bz2 and zip extensions.
  • The location of the setup script has changed to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/setup/index.php. The new setup process offers many more options than before, but the basic options remain the same as described in the book.
  • When the setup script loads, click New Server. After setting the options for the new server in the Basic settings tab, click Save. This takes you back to the Overview screen, where you must click Save again to create the configuration file, config.inc.php.
  • Move config.inc.php to the main phpMyAdmin folder before launching phpMyAdmin in your browser.
