Users can install phpmyadmin very smoothly with Windows VPS hosting.

  1. Users can follow the following link to install it :
    http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php
  2. Users have to double click on their phpMyAdmin Zip file which is already saved on their desktop and they have to extract it to:
    C:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpmyadmin
  3. Users have to navigate the same directory & rename the file config.sample.inc.php to config.inc.php
  4. Open the file in Notepad & get the following :
    $cfg[‘blowfish_secret’] = ‘ ’;
  5. Within the ‘ ’ insert any word, eg: manan. The line should look like this:
    $cfg[‘blowfish_secret’] = ‘manan’;
  6. Save the file. Note that the file name should be config.inc.php
  7. In your browser, go to:
    localhost/phpmyadmin
  8. And that’s it, log in with the credentials you provided during the MySQL. If all are done right & the php Gods are smiling you should see your login page, something like this:
