IIS Web Server
PHP Tutorials
Install phpMyAdmin - MySQL administration tool
- Unzip the distribution: to the webserver's document root ( usually C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ for ISS ). 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.
- Open the file config.inc.php in your favorite editor and change the values for host, user, password and authentication mode to fit your environment. Here, "host" means the MySQL server. Fill in the MySql values as indicated.

- It is recommended that you protect the directory in which you installed phpMyAdmin (unless it's on a closed intranet, or you wish to use HTTP or cookie authentication), for example with HTTP-AUTH (in a .htaccess file).
- Open the file <www.your-host.com>/<your-install-dir>/index.php in your browser ( localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php for IIS). phpMyAdmin should now display a welcome screen and your databases, or a login dialog if using HTTP or cookie authentication mode.
