Installation
NOTE: phpMyAdmin does not apply any special security methods to the
MySQL database server. It is still the sysadmin's job to grant
permissions on the MySQL databases properly.
Warning for Mac users: php seems not to like Mac end of lines

So you'll have to resave as in Bbedit to unix style ALL phpMyAdmin
scripts before uploading them to your server.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
I'm running php 4+ and my server is crashing each time a specific
action is required or phpMyAdmin send a blank page to my browser, what
can I do?
There is some known php bugs with output buffering and compression.
Try to set the $cfgOBGzip directive to FALSE in your config.inc.php or
.php3 file and the zlib.output_compression directive to Off in your
php configuration file.

I get an out of memory error, and my controls are non-functional, when

This is a problem under investigation. Seems to be OS and/or browser-

We could reproduce this problem only under Win98/98SE. Testing under
WinNT4 or Win2K, we could easily create more than 60 fields.
A workaround is to create a smaller number of fields, then come back
to your table properties and add the other fields.

I get errors about not being able to include a file in /lang
Check php.ini, or ask your sysadmin to check it. The include_path must
contain "." somewhere in it, and open_basedir, if used, must contain
"." and "./lang" to allow normal operation of phpMyAdmin.
