I can view, edit, c

Answer 1

The config.inc.php file is not required, and only needed for custom configurations

phpmyadmin will first refer to ./libraries/config.default.php to retrieve the default values.

If for some reason you need to modify the default values, and the ./config.inc.php file doesn't exist, you will need to create one as per the Installation documentation.

You will also need to configure pmadb for some of phpmyadmin's special features such as bookmarks.

Answer 2

Go to path c:\xamp\phpmyadmin.In that folder config.inc.php file would be present.

Answer 3

Open up [web_root]/libraries/Config.class.php add these lines to the beginning of the method load:

      var_dump( $this->default_source);
      var_dump( CONFIG_FILE);
      die; 

Open phpmyadmin. This is the order of config files loaded, they make a variable $cfg which is the config of PMA, for me the output was:

'[mywebroot]./libraries/config.default.php'
'/etc/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php'

Make sure the last file, which is for local changes, exist and have correct permissions. Then get rid of the added lines.

More info

PMA loads it's global configuration in the file libraries/common.inc.php:306.

$GLOBALS['PMA_Config'] = new PMA_Config(CONFIG_FILE);

The global is an instance of PMA_Config whose constructor calls the loadmethod. In load method, the parameter passed to the constructor, CONFIG_FILE is used to load the configuration.

Answer 4

if by mistake you have changed the password of your default user('root') and now phpmyadmin is not even allowing you to open it than:

1. go to config.inc.php file

2. change your $cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = ' '

put ur password in ' ' that u changed.

C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin4.1.14 for config.inc.php

Answer 5

rename config.sample.inc.php to config.inc.php and edit whatever you want in it.
