Here's a list of resources and information you can use when you're trying to get it working: </p> <h3>Recent versions of all programs</h3> <p> It's true, software has bugs. Those bugs get fixed, but if you're still running a broken version of PHP that doesn't handle arrays correctly, you'll never get phpMyAdmin (or any other PHP script) working properly. If at all possible try to run the most recent versions of MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin. </p> <h3>Use the phpMyAdmin source</h3> <p> Many distributions ship with binary installs for phpMyAdmin (Gentoo's portage/emerge, Debian's dpkg/apt, etc). If you have a problem with one of those, seek help from the package maintainer. If you want to ask us, first get the source from <a href="/downloads/">our downloads page</a> and run through the <a href="https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/setup.html#quick-install">quick install guide</a>. </p> <h3>Read the documentation!</h3> <p> Yes, <a href="https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/">the documentation</a> is large, but that's because it has a lot of information in it. Search for your error message or problem. Read the <a href="https://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/faq.html">frequently asked questions</a> — many common problems are answered there. </p> </div> <div class="floatbox"> <h2>Types of questions and where to ask</h2> <ul> <li>How do I? — <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/tags/phpmyadmin/info">Stack Overflow</a></li> <li>I got this error, why? — <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/tags/phpmyadmin/info">Stack Overflow</a></li> <li>I got this web server error (like "404 - Not Found") — <a href="https://serverfault.com/tags/phpmyadmin">serverfault.com</a> or <a href="https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/tags/phpmyadmin">webmasters.stackexchange.com</a></li> <li>I got this error on the current stable version and I'm sure it's a bug — Please file an <a href="https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues">issue</a></li> <li>I have an idea/request — Please file an <a href="https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/issues">issue</a></li> <li>I have found a security issue — Please see <a href="/security/">security page</a> for instructions how to report that</li> <li>I have a question about the code itself — Use our <a href="https://lists.phpmyadmin.net/mailman/listinfo/developers">developers@phpmyadmin.net</a> mailing list</li> </ul> </div> <div class="floatbox"> <h2>Mailing Lists</h2> <ul> <li>For news/announcements: <a href="https://lists.phpmyadmin.net/mailman/listinfo/news">news@phpmyadmin.net</a></li> <li>For developers: <a href="https://lists.phpmyadmin.net/mailman/listinfo/developers">developers@phpmyadmin.net</a></li> <li>For translators: <a href="https://lists.phpmyadmin.net/mailman/listinfo/translators">translators@phpmyadmin.net</a></li> <li>Git commit notifications: <a href="https://lists.phpmyadmin.net/mailman/listinfo/git">git@phpmyadmin.net</a></li> <li><a href="https://lists.phpmyadmin.net/">Mailing lists overview</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="floatbox"> <h2>Commercial Support</h2> <p> If you want to receive commercial support for phpMyAdmin, either as help with installation or implementing custom features, do not hesitate to contact the <a href="https://lists.phpmyadmin.net/mailman/listinfo/developers">development mailing list</a>.
