Hello, I have the same problem.
I'm trying to set up Drupal but before I have to install MySQL ---and before I have to install phpMyAdmin.
The setup want fine, but when I open it I also get this message saying that I have to create a "config" directory.
I'm checking on SSH if I find any obvious place where to create it but no luck until now.
Could someone please give me some instructions?
I'm using a RN314 with OS6. Thanks!

Sorry, I just saw this...The config directory is installed when you install PHP. Have you fixed your problem yet? Before installing any of the listed add-ons you have to install PHP. You should start by uninstalling everything and starting with PHP.

Hi, no problem ;)
Thank you for the instructions, I managed to have it running after a few days of trials and errors (mostly errors, actually).
The problem is that now I don't really remember how I fixed the issue, but it is possible that I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling everything in the correct order.

My guess it that you uninstalled everything as well. There is something to be said for trial and error, but here is a quick rundown of what was going on. All the programs you installed were dependent on a successful installation of PHP. The config file is generated when PHP is successfully installed (it can be a pain to get to but that's another story). phpMyAdmin allows you to manipulate the database without having to learn mySQL. but it's a good skill to have. If you need to get on some MySQL knowledge, you can take a basics course for free from Code Academy. For an online coding site their programs are pretty good. Let me know if you need any help, I am pushing the Netgear equipment to it's maximum capabilities so by the time I am done I should be a great resource for those looking for small business IT solutions.
