Good that you got it working.

Regarding the error message: A quick google search shows that PHP 5.3 no longer supports those functions. Your phpMyAdmin seems not fully compatible with 5.3 yet.
Anyway, since things are working better don’t bother about it..

Thank you very much tony. I have no idea what I did except,

mysqlcheck –check-upgrade –all-databases –auto-repair
mysql_fix_privilege_tables

shell> mysql_upgrade

Now, my phpmyadmin and webmin mysql db backup are working just fine. Again, I see following errors in the log, when I did as u instructed me.

[Tue Feb 02 16:37:08 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/select_lang.lib.php on line 146

Thanks a lot.

Hi Sadesh,
You have to find your apache error log files, in Cent OS and similar distros its in
/var/log/httpd/error_log

Next, giving tail -f anyfilename will print out the latest entries in that text file real time.

In short, you do a tail -f yourapacheerrorlog in a shell, and then try to access the phpmyadmin in browser, to see what errors are getting printed.

Btw, why dont you also try to do a manual installation of phpMyAdmin (as said in the second part of the article) and see if it works.

Thank you Sonic for the reply. This is what I got after execution of the php -l command;

*** No syntax errors detected in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php ****

Regarding “The ideal way to tackle this would be to do a tail -f on the apache error logs and see what errors are getting printed, and then you’ll have a better idea.”

How do I do this? thanks again.
