Latest update:

I'm really stuck on this phpMyAdmin install/config.

I'm running Fedora Core 5

OK I followed the docs and di like 5 installs & configs.  I eventually get to the same place. - A blank page.

I can view left.php by adding it to url.  I see all my databases.

I can view main.php by adding it to the url.

Here is the source of the page phpMyAdmin puts out.

Any help much appreciated,

Appreciate your help with this.

I set the php.ini so that errors are displayed.

Now I see the errors and see what I did wrong.  I did not copy over a few files.

Now I get a login / password error which I can hopefully figure out.

Funny thing was nothing was in the http logs about these errors.  I did see other errors on some scripts I was writing in PHP.

It has been maybe 3 years since I setup a Linux box......

Thanks for your help!
Keith

I have pointed out this before I believe, but I will state it again for the
record, you will get a blank page on new setups of apache/php because it is
setup not to display errors (some setups still show it, but most of the last
ones I have done, have not). So the apache log maybe your only recourse in
figuring out what is causing the hang up.
