maybe I will forget something, but that's not a "easy-step-by-step-procedure"



STEP 1: you'll need a webserver!




  • First of all, Install IIS on your server using "Server Manager" (or apache, if you prefer)

  • Second (or maybe first?) get/install a MySQL server to administer

  • configure IIS. Well, that's quite complicate to explain here!

  • Test IIS (http:// localhost should show you a welcome screen)


STEP 2: PHP!




  • Download the last version of PHP (5.x) from here: http://windows.php.net/download/#php-5.5

  • Install PHP on IIS (as CGI, if you don't know the difference between the various possibilities)

  • Test PHP creating a phpinfo() page


STEP 3: PhpMyAdmin




  • Download it from here: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php

  • extract the archive in the wwwroot folder (or wherever you want to create your website or folder); in a subfolder maybe? let's call that subfolder "phpma"

  • in this "phpma" folder, create a config folder

  • copy the config.sample.inc.php file from "phpma" to the "config" folder and rename it to "config.inc.php"

  • give the WRITE permission on this file to the user that will execute IIS

  • open your webbrowser to http:// server/phpma/setup/

  • follow the procedure

  • Is there a step missing here? How would IIS know where to point http://server/phpma to? Do we need to do something in IIS first before heading to that URL?

    No, if you create the phpma folder in the iis root folder; (Default: c:ìnetpubwwwroot)
