            Installation

            -

            - NOTE: phpMyAdmin does not apply any special security - methods to the MySQL database server. It is still the system administrator's job to - grant permissions on the MySQL databases properly. phpMyAdmin's - "Privileges" page can be used for this. -

            - Warning for Mac users:if you are on a MacOS - version before OS X, StuffIt unstuffs with Mac formats.
            - So you'll have to resave as in BBEdit to Unix style ALL phpMyAdmin scripts - before uploading them to your server, as PHP seems not to like Mac-style - end of lines character ("\r"). -

            Quick Install

            -
              -
            1. Untar or unzip the distribution (be sure to unzip the subdirectories): - tar -xzvf phpMyAdmin_x.x.x.tar.gz in your webserver's - document root. If you don't have direct access to your document root, - put the files in a directory on your local machine, and, after step 3, - transfer the directory on your web server using, for example, ftp.
              2. -
            2. Ensure that all the scripts have the appropriate owner (if PHP is - running in safe mode, having some scripts with an owner different - from the owner of other scripts will be a - problem). See FAQ 4.2 and - FAQ 1.26 for suggestions.
              3. -
            3. Create the file config.inc.php in the main (top-level) - directory (the one that contains index.php). - You can use setup script provided in distribution (scripts/setup.php) to create basics of - config file. See Setup chapter for - details. If you don't like setup or want to fine tune resulting - configuration, open (or create in case of starting from scratch) - config.inc.php in your favorite editor and fill in there - values for host, user, password and authentication mode to fit your - environment. Look at libraries/config.default.php how these - fields should be defined. Here, "host" means the MySQL - server. Have a look at Configuration section - for an explanation of all values. Please also read the remaining of - this Installation section for information about authentication modes - and the linked-tables infrastructure.
            4. If you are using the - auth_type configuration directive, it is suggested that you protect the phpMyAdmin - installation directory, for example with HTTP–AUTH in a - .htaccess file. See the - multi–user sub–section of this FAQ for additional - information, especially FAQ 4.4.
              5. -
            5. 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.
              6. -
            6. You should deny access to the libraries subfolder in your webserver - configuration. For Apache you can use supplied .htaccess file in that - folder, for other webservers, you should configure this yourself. - Such configuration prevents from possible path exposure and cross - side scripting vulnerabilities that might happen to be found in that - code.

              - Since 2.8.0 phpMyAdmin comes with a setup script that can help you with - creating configuration. This script is located in scripts folder: scripts/setup.php.

              -
                -
              1. Download it to your local workstation, then upload (for example - with ftp) to your main phpMyAdmin directory. In this case, you - don't have to prepare a special config directory, so - no further actions are necessary.

              + +

              Since 2.8.0 phpMyAdmin comes with a setup script that can help you with + creating configuration. This script is located in ./scripts folder: + ./scripts/setup.php. Its usage is quite + simple. You follow the dialogs and this script prepares in memory the + configuration directives. You then have two choices for saving the + configuration file:

              + +
              1. Download it to your local workstation, then upload (for example with ftp) + to your main phpMyAdmin directory. In this case, you don't have to + prepare a special ./config directory, so no further actions are + necessary.

                3. +
              + +

              For saving file on webserver, or loading + previous configuration you have to create ./config directory in phpMyAdmin's top level directory and make it writable to web server. For loading previous configuration, place it there (and make sure it has write - permissions for webserver). On a Linux/UNIX server you can use the - following commands: -

              - 
              -    cd phpMyAdmin
-    mkdir config                        # create directory for saving 
-    chmod o+rw config                   # give it world writable permissions
-    # if you want to edit existing configuration:
-    cp config.inc.php config/           # copy current configuration
-    chmod o+w config/config.inc.php     # give it world writable permissions
-
              -

              On a Windows system, create a config in the main phpMyAdmin - directory and ensure that your web server has read/write access to it. - FAQ 1.26 can help you about this. If you already have - an existing config.inc.php in your main directory, copy it to the - newly created config directory. -

              -

              - Then you can open scripts/setup.php in your browser and perform + permissions for webserver). On a Linux/UNIX server you can use the + following commands:

              + +
              +cd phpMyAdmin
+mkdir config                        # create directory for saving

If you already have an existing + ./config.inc.php in your main directory, copy it to the newly + created ./config directory.

              + +

              Then you can open ./scripts/setup.php in your browser and perform setup. After saving your configuration move generated configuration to top - level directory and delete created config directory. Do not - forget to remove world write permissions on config.inc.php! -

              -

              - Please note that it does not allow to configure everything, so for some + level directory and delete created ./config directory. Do not + forget to remove world write permissions on ./config.inc.php!

              + +

              Please note that it does not allow to configure everything, so for some additional features you still need to manually edit the configuration file. -

              Linked-tables infrastructure

              -

              - For a whole set of new features (bookmarks, comments, SQL-history, - PDF-generation, field contents transformation, etc.) - you need to create a set of special tables. Those tables can be located - in your own database, or in a central database for a multi-user - installation (this database would then be accessed by the controluser, - so no other user should have rights to it). -

              - Please look at your scripts/ - directory, where you should find a file called create_tables.sql. - (If you are using a Windows server, pay special attention to FAQ 1.23). -

              - If your MySQL server's version is 4.1.2 or later, please use - create_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql instead, for a new installation. -

              - If you already had this infrastructure and upgraded to MySQL 4.1.2 - or later, please use upgrade_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql. -

              - You can use your phpMyAdmin to create the tables for you. Please be - aware that you may need special (administrator) privileges to create - the database and tables, and that the script may need some tuning, - depending on the database name. -

              - After having imported the create_tables.sql file, - you should specify the table names in your config.inc.php file. The directives - used for that can be found in the Configuration section. - You will also need to have a controluser with the proper rights to - those tables (see section Using authentication modes below). -

              Upgrading from an older version

              - Just copy config.inc.php from previous installation into a - newly unpacked one. If your previous phpMyAdmin version was 2.3.0 or - older, some tweaking may be required because, as of 2.7.0, using those - old config files is no longer supported. -

              Using authentication modes

              -
                -
              • HTTP and cookie authentication modes are recommended in a multi-user - environment where you want to give users access to their own - database and don't want them to play around with others. -
                - Nevertheless be aware that MS Internet Explorer seems to be really - buggy about cookies, at least till version 6. And PHP 4.1.1 is also a - bit buggy in this area!
                +

                Please look at your ./scripts/ directory, where you should find a + file called create_tables.sql. (If you are using a Windows server, pay + special attention to + FAQ 1.23).

                + +

                If your MySQL server's version is 4.1.2 or later, please use + ./scripts/create_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql instead, for a new + installation.

                You can use your phpMyAdmin to create the tables for you. Please be aware + that you may need special (administrator) privileges to create the database + and tables, and that the script may need some tuning, depending on the + database name.

                + +

                After having imported the ./scripts/create_tables.sql file, you + should specify the table names in your ./config.inc.php file. The + directives used for that can be found in the Configuration + section. You will also need to have a controluser with the proper rights + to those tables (see section Using + authentication modes below).

                • HTTP and cookie + authentication modes are recommended in a multi-user environment + where you want to give users access to their own database and don't want + them to play around with others.

                  Even in a single-user environment, you might prefer to use - HTTP or cookie mode so that your user/password pair are not in clear - in the configuration file.

                  [1. Introduction]

                  - -

                  To enable transformations, you have to setup the column_info table and the proper -directives. Please see the Configuration section on how to do so.

                  -
                  - -

                  You can apply different transformations to the contents of each field. The -transformation will take the content of each field and transform it with -certain rules defined in the selected transformation.


                  - -

                  Say you have a field 'filename' which contains a filename. Normally you would see -in phpMyAdmin only this filename. Using transformations you can transform that filename -into a HTML link, so you can click inside of the phpMyAdmin structure on the field's -link and will see the file displayed in a new browser window. Using transformation -options you can also specify strings to append/prepend to a string or the format you -want the output stored in.


                  - -

                  For a general overview of all available transformations and their options, you can -consult your -<www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/transformation_overview.php -installation.

                  - -


                  For a tutorial on how to effectively use transformations, see our Link section on the official phpMyAdmin homepage.

                  -

                  [2. Usage]

                  - -

                  Go to your tbl_properties_structure.php page (i.e. reached through -clicking on the 'Structure' link for a table). There click on -"Change" (or change icon) and there you will see three new fields at -the end of the line. They are called 'MIME-type', 'Browser transformation' and -'Transformation options'.

                  - -
                    -
                  • The field 'MIME-type' is a dropdown field. You have the options to leave that field -empty or to use 'auto' [this feature is not yet available]. Please note that -transformations are inactive as long as no MIME-type is selected.
                    • - -
                  • The field 'Browser transformation' is a drop-down field. You can choose from a -hopefully growing amount of pre-defined transformations. See below for information on -how to build your own transformation.
                    - -There are global transformations and mimetype-bound transformations. Global transformations -can be used for any mimetype. They will take the mimetype, if necessary, into regard. -Mimetype-bound transformations usually only operate on a certain mimetype. There are -transformations which operate on the main mimetype (like 'image'), which will most likely -take the subtype into regard, and those who only operate on a -specific subtype (like 'image/jpeg').
                    - -You can use transformations on mimetypes for which the function was not defined for. There -is no security check for you selected the right transformation, so take care of what the -output will be like.
                    • - -
                  • The field 'Transformation options' is a free-type textfield. You have to enter -transform-function specific options here. Usually the transforms can operate with default -options, but it is generally a good idea to look up the overview to see which options are -necessary.
                    - -Much like the ENUM/SET-Fields, you have to split up several options using the format -'a','b','c',...(NOTE THE MISSING BLANKS). This is because internally the options will be -parsed as an array, leaving the first value the first element in the array, and so -forth.
                    - -If you want to specify a MIME character set you can define it in the transformation_options. -You have to put that outside of the pre-defined options of the specific mime-transform, -as the last value of the set. Use the format "'; charset=XXX'". If you use a transform, -for which you can specify 2 options and you want to append a character set, enter "'first -parameter','second parameter','charset=us-ascii'". You can, however use the defaults for -the parameters: "'','','charset=us-ascii'".

                  [3. File structure]

                  - -

                  All mimetypes and their transformations are defined through single files in -the directory 'libraries/transformations/'.


                  - -

                  They are stored in files to ease up customization and easy adding of new -transformations.


                  - -

                  Because the user cannot enter own mimetypes, it is kept sure that transformations -always work. It makes no sense to apply a transformation to a mimetype, the -transform-function doesn't know to handle.


                  - -

                  One can, however, use empty mime-types and global transformations which should work -for many mimetypes. You can also use transforms on a different mimetype they where built -for, but pay attention to option usage as well as what the transformation does to your -field.

                  There is a basic file called 'global.inc.php'. This function can be included by -any other transform function and provides some basic functions.


                  - -

                  There are 5 possible file names:

                  - -
                    -
                  1. A mimetype+subtype transform:

                    - - [mimetype]_[subtype]__[transform].inc.php

                    - - Please not that mimetype and subtype are separated via '_', which shall not be - contained in their names. The transform function/filename may contain only - characters which cause no problems in the file system as well as the PHP function - naming convention.

                    - - The transform function will the be called 'PMA_transform_[mimetype]_[subtype]__[transform]()'.

                    - - Example:

                    - - text_html__formatted.inc.php
                    - PMA_transform_text_html__formatted()
                    2. - -
                  2. A mimetype (w/o subtype) transform:

                    - - [mimetype]__[transform].inc.php

                    - - Please note that there are no single '_' characters. - The transform function/filename may contain only characters which cause no problems - in the file system as well as the PHP function naming convention.

                    - - The transform function will the be called 'PMA_transform_[mimetype]__[transform]()'.

                    - - Example:

                    - - text__formatted.inc.php
                    - PMA_transform_text__formatted()
                    3. - -
                  3. A mimetype+subtype without specific transform function

                    - - [mimetype]_[subtype].inc.php

                    - - Please note that there are no '__' characters in the filename. Do not use special - characters in the filename causing problems with the file system.

                    - - No transformation function is defined in the file itself.

                    - - Example:

                    - - text_plain.inc.php
                    - (No function)
                    4. - -
                  4. A mimetype (w/o subtype) without specific transform function

                    - - [mimetype].inc.php

                    - - Please note that there are no '_' characters in the filename. Do not use special - characters in the filename causing problems with the file system.

                    - - No transformation function is defined in the file itself.

                    - - Example:

                    - - text.inc.php
                    - (No function)
                    5. - -
                  5. A global transform function with no specific mimetype

                    - - global__[transform].inc.php

                    - - The transform function will the be called 'PMA_transform_global__[transform]()'.

                    - - Example:

                    - - global__formatted
                    - PMA_transform_global__formatted()

                    -

                    So generally use '_' to split up mimetype and subtype, and '__' to provide a -transform function.


                    +

                    1. Introduction

                    -

                    All filenames containing no '__' in themselves are not shown as valid transform -functions in the dropdown.


                    +

                    To enable transformations, you have to setup the column_info table + and the proper directives. Please see the Configuration + section on how to do so.

                    -

                    Please see the libraries/transformations/TEMPLATE file for adding your own transform -function. See the libraries/transformations/TEMPLATE_MIMETYPE for adding a mimetype -without a transform function. Also note the introduction of a function description in -the language files. For each function a $strTransformation_[filename without .inc.php] -has to exist.


                    +

                    You can apply different transformations to the contents of each field. The + transformation will take the content of each field and transform it with + certain rules defined in the selected transformation.

                    -

                    You can use the template generator to generate new functions and entries in the -language file.


                    +

                    Say you have a field 'filename' which contains a filename. Normally you would + see in phpMyAdmin only this filename. Using transformations you can transform + that filename into a HTML link, so you can click inside of the phpMyAdmin + structure on the field's link and will see the file displayed in a new browser + window. Using transformation options you can also specify strings to + append/prepend to a string or the format you want the output stored in.

                    -

                    To create a new transform function please see libraries/transformations/template_generator.sh. -To create a new, empty mimetype please see libraries/transformations/template_generator_mimetype.sh.


                    +

                    For a general overview of all available transformations and their options, + you can consult your + <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/transformation_overview.php + installation.

                    -

                    A transform function always gets passed three variables:

                    -
                      -
                    1. $buffer - Contains the text inside of the column. This is the text, you want to transform.
                      2. -
                    2. $options - Contains any user-passed options to a transform function as an array.
                      3. -
                    3. $meta - Contains an object with field information to your column. The data is drawn from the output of the - mysql_fetch_field() function. This means, all object properties described - on the manual page are available in this variable and can be used to - transform a field accordingly to unsigned/zerofill/not_null/... properties.
                      - The $meta->mimetype variable contains the original MIME-type of the field (i.e. 'text/plain', 'image/jpeg' etc.)
                      4. +

                      For a tutorial on how to effectively use transformations, see our + Link section on + the official phpMyAdmin homepage.

                      + +

                      2. Usage

                      + +

                      Go to your tbl_properties_structure.php page (i.e. reached through + clicking on the 'Structure' link for a table). There click on + "Change" (or change icon) and there you will see three new fields at + the end of the line. They are called 'MIME-type', 'Browser transformation' and + 'Transformation options'.

                      + +
                      • The field 'MIME-type' is a dropdown field. You have the options to leave that field + empty or to use 'auto' [this feature is not yet available]. Please note that + transformations are inactive as long as no MIME-type is selected.
                        • + +
                      • The field 'Browser transformation' is a drop-down field. You can choose from a + hopefully growing amount of pre-defined transformations. See below for information on + how to build your own transformation.
                        + + There are global transformations and mimetype-bound transformations. Global transformations + can be used for any mimetype. They will take the mimetype, if necessary, into regard. + Mimetype-bound transformations usually only operate on a certain mimetype. There are + transformations which operate on the main mimetype (like 'image'), which will most likely + take the subtype into regard, and those who only operate on a + specific subtype (like 'image/jpeg').
                        + + You can use transformations on mimetypes for which the function was not defined for. There + is no security check for you selected the right transformation, so take care of what the + output will be like.
                        • + +
                      • The field 'Transformation options' is a free-type textfield. You have to enter + transform-function specific options here. Usually the transforms can operate with default + options, but it is generally a good idea to look up the overview to see which options are + necessary.
                        + + Much like the ENUM/SET-Fields, you have to split up several options using the format + 'a','b','c',...(NOTE THE MISSING BLANKS). This is because internally the options will be + parsed as an array, leaving the first value the first element in the array, and so + forth.
                        + + If you want to specify a MIME character set you can define it in the transformation_options. + You have to put that outside of the pre-defined options of the specific mime-transform, + as the last value of the set. Use the format "'; charset=XXX'". If you use a transform, + for which you can specify 2 options and you want to append a character set, enter "'first + parameter','second parameter','charset=us-ascii'". You can, however use the defaults for + the parameters: "'','','charset=us-ascii'".
                        • +
                      + +

                      3. File structure

                      + +

                      All mimetypes and their transformations are defined through single files in + the directory 'libraries/transformations/'.

                      + +

                      They are stored in files to ease up customization and easy adding of new + transformations.

                      + +

                      Because the user cannot enter own mimetypes, it is kept sure that transformations + always work. It makes no sense to apply a transformation to a mimetype, the + transform-function doesn't know to handle.

                      + +

                      One can, however, use empty mime-types and global transformations which should work + for many mimetypes. You can also use transforms on a different mimetype they where built + for, but pay attention to option usage as well as what the transformation does to your + field.

                      + +

                      There is a basic file called 'global.inc.php'. This function can be included by + any other transform function and provides some basic functions.

                      + +

                      There are 5 possible file names:

                      + +
                      1. A mimetype+subtype transform:

                        + + [mimetype]_[subtype]__[transform].inc.php

                        + + Please not that mimetype and subtype are separated via '_', which shall not be + contained in their names. The transform function/filename may contain only + characters which cause no problems in the file system as well as the PHP function + naming convention.

                        + + The transform function will the be called 'PMA_transform_[mimetype]_[subtype]__[transform]()'.

                        + + Example:

                        + + text_html__formatted.inc.php
                        + PMA_transform_text_html__formatted()
                        2. + +
                      2. A mimetype (w/o subtype) transform:

                        + + [mimetype]__[transform].inc.php

                        + + Please note that there are no single '_' characters. + The transform function/filename may contain only characters which cause no problems + in the file system as well as the PHP function naming convention.

                        + + The transform function will the be called 'PMA_transform_[mimetype]__[transform]()'.

                        + + Example:

                        + + text__formatted.inc.php
                        + PMA_transform_text__formatted()
                        3. + +
                      3. A mimetype+subtype without specific transform function

                        + + [mimetype]_[subtype].inc.php

                        + + Please note that there are no '__' characters in the filename. Do not use special + characters in the filename causing problems with the file system.

                        + + No transformation function is defined in the file itself.

                        + + Example:

                        + + text_plain.inc.php
                        + (No function)
                        4. + +
                      4. A mimetype (w/o subtype) without specific transform function

                        + + [mimetype].inc.php

                        + + Please note that there are no '_' characters in the filename. Do not use special + characters in the filename causing problems with the file system.

                        + + No transformation function is defined in the file itself.

                        + + Example:

                        + + text.inc.php
                        + (No function)
                        5. + +
                      5. A global transform function with no specific mimetype

                        + + global__[transform].inc.php

                        + + The transform function will the be called 'PMA_transform_global__[transform]()'.

                        + + Example:

                        + + global__formatted
                        + PMA_transform_global__formatted()
                        6. +
                      + +

                      So generally use '_' to split up mimetype and subtype, and '__' to provide a + transform function.

                      + +

                      All filenames containing no '__' in themselves are not shown as valid transform + functions in the dropdown.

                      + +

                      Please see the libraries/transformations/TEMPLATE file for adding your own transform + function. See the libraries/transformations/TEMPLATE_MIMETYPE for adding a mimetype + without a transform function. Also note the introduction of a function description in + the language files. For each function a $strTransformation_[filename without .inc.php] + has to exist.

                            • First, you need to determine what socket is being used by MySQL.
                              To do this, telnet to your server and go to the MySQL bin directory. In this directory there should be a file named mysqladmin. Type ./mysqladmin variables, and this should give you a bunch of info about your MySQL server, including the socket - (/tmp/mysql.sock, for example). -

                            • - Then, you need to tell PHP to use this socket.

                            • Then, you need to tell PHP to use this socket.
                              To do this in phpMyAdmin, you need to complete the socket information in the config.inc.php.
                              For example: - $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '/tmp/mysql.sock';

                              + + $cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket'] = '/tmp/mysql.sock'; +
