Query RE: phpmyadmin

[sara73]

Hi all

I have a query regarding phpmyadmin...

i am still setting up by scratch etc so bear with me.

I have downloaded phpmyadmin and am about to create the configure.php file.

the instruction is as set below

<?php
$i=0;
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']='213.171.218.246'; // your database server’s IP address
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']='config'; // Authentication method – config, http or cookie
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']='demousername'; // your database username
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='trainingpassword'; // your database user’s password
?>
Save this file as config.inc.php and upload it into the phpMyAdmin directory you have just created.

thats all well and good BUT i have a problem with whether i am doing this right.

do i enter the text making the changes as set up above or is it like this:

<?php
$i=0;
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host']='213.171.218.246'; //
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']='config'; //
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']='demousername'; //
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']='trainingpassword'; // ?>
Save this file as config.inc.php and upload it into the phpMyAdmin directory you have just created.


i am getting a 404 page error at the moment so am not sure whether i have edited the text right.. all the detail is host,user,password are correct.

has anyone else don this liek that at all that can give my any ideas please
