Setting phpMyAdmin
After installing the application the setup screen states I need a config folder. The installation directions are not clear to me. It says I have to create the config folder in the root directory. I am...
Whilst waiting for some progress on another post about rewriting on wordpress https://community.netgear.com/t5/Community-Add-ons/OS-6-4-2-apache2-rewrite-problem-when-using-WordPress/m-p/1051016/highlight/false I will try and see if I can get the PHPMyAdmin (4.0.4.1) updated.
I thought that the idea of using the NAS to upload the latest MAYBE a good idea (ignoring my own previous comment).
I downloaded the latest version (4.5.4.1) of PHPMyAdmin from https://www.phpmyadmin.net/ to my PC.
From the NAS I used the 'upload' button top right on the 'Installed Apps' page to pick up the downloaded zip file.
On pressing Install it failed with "Only Debian packages are allowed".
So I go to the download page https://www.phpmyadmin.net/downloads/ only to find that none are labelled with debian packages.
Trying to get an uptodate version of LAMP on the NAS with a working WordPress installation is taking me days of work.
I have read 100's of pages on the Internet and I am not the only one with the problem.
I am now at the point of scrapping the whole project .... on the NAS.
I do not know whether it is the NAS that is the problem, or just this is a difficult (almost impossible) task.
I get the feeling that it really should only take an hour or so (on a good day).
A REALLY REALLY FRUSTRATED AND UPSET POSTEE.
I will see how I feel tomorrow
I am now a lot calmer, since I climbed down the wall .... I can see the deep scratches that were produced yesterday:)
Okay ... I looked at installing a new version of PHPMyAdmin using the 'apt-get' utility, BUT how do you know what it is going to install.
So first I install 'dselect' using 'apt-get install dselect' and this installed Vers 1.16.17 quite happily.
Using 'dselect' I discovered that the available version of PHPMyAdmin that I can install using apt-get is 4.0.4.
I already have Vers 4.0.4 installed and my system is telling me to upgrade.
The current Version available to the outside world is 4.5.4.1, considerable different I would expect.
HOW DO I GET THE NAS BOX TO INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION OF PHPMYADMIN?
Hi,
did you manage to upgrade PHPMyAdmin to 4.5.4.1 ? or could you finalize the installation of 4.0.4 without getting config missing messages and such?
I'm on RN314 with Wordpress, Koken and SuperSync on it, looks like for standard operation PHPMyAdmin is not a must.
Try to manage the NAS from mac OS X.
Thanks for sharing your success.

Hi Hans
No I did NOT manage to upgrade to the latest version.
There were so many problems that we (the family) decided to cut our losses (my time) and start again with a new website.
See here if you want to see progression in last few weeks.
It seems to be the trend to do it all online (in this case using WordPress) and although not finished, it works.
Lots more to add to it, but the basics are built ... sort of.
Re "Thanks for sharing your success." I assume that was irony.

P.S. Actually we all learn more from failures than we ever do from successes, so I have learnt a lot.
That's a pity I realy hoped we could share our learnings ;-/
Nice shop page "Fashion Books & Prints", which plugin did you use?
Anyhow I will simply use the "old" PHPMyAdmin Version hope that will be enough for my needs.
and ignore the "error" messages :smileyhappy: Have a nice weekend. best regards Hans

The Theme is 'Enfinity' - a paid for theme.
There are lots of free ones, as you are probably aware.
One of my favourites is in the website I built here.
Try the gallery and click a picture (mostly my pictures ny the way).
I love the way they move ..... magic.
