Re: Installing phpMyAdmin 2.10.2.tar.tz on my web server

I have read through phpAdmin Quick Install at

http://wiki.cihar.com/pma/Quick_Install

It reads Extract files

Untar or unzip the distribution (be sure to unzip the subdirectories):

tar -xzvf phpMyAdmin-2.*.*.*.tar.gz

in your web server’s document root.

When I login to my server using WinSCP to connect my server via SSH, there is a button with / to connect to the root directory. When I click the button it displays / <root>

The documentation recommends phpMyAdmin should be installed in the root directory (document root).

I already have WordPress installed in my public_html directory in a folder named blog, which isn’t a database nor is it my root directory (document root).

WordPress is up and running.

[Then just install your bbPRess in the same database as WP.]

Where on my web server is the database you are referring?

Are you referring to the database files portion of the bbPress and WordPress installation?

[You can have the forum installed wherever, I was talking about having bbPress and WP in the same database.]

I can have WordPress installed in my public_html directory in a folder named blog.

I can have bbPress installed in my public_html directory in a folder named forum.

I apologize for my confusion.
