    Very new to wordpress and web page development. have lots of experience in the IT field.
    used XAMPP to install the SQL DB server and Apache server

    MySQL DB server
    ?Server: 127.0.0.1 via TCP/IP
    ?Server type: MySQL
    ?Server version: 5.6.26 – MySQL Community Server (GPL)
    ?Protocol version: 10
    ?User: root@localhost
    ? Server charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

    Web Server
    ?Apache/2.4.16 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1p PHP/5.5.28
    ?Database client version: libmysql – mysqlnd 5.0.11-dev – 20120503 – $Id: 15d5c781cfcad91193dceae1d2cdd127674ddb3e $
    ?PHP extension: mysqli Documentation
    ?PHP version: 5.5.28

    Everything looks good until I try to open the wp-admin/install.php file in my browser. It opens in a text editor instead.

    DB name ‘wp’ ; Logging in with ‘root’ password
    is ‘password’ host site localhost.

    found this error message on the SQL admin console.
    ‘ The phpMyAdmin configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated. Find out why.
    Or alternately go to ‘Operations’ tab of any database to set it up there.    ‘
    Followed the link to documentation regarding the pma_columninfo tbl.
    complaining about the lack of three columns in this tble. found the tble and looked at it and saw that the columns do exist. not sure what’s up here.

  • This is not a WordPress issue, it is a phpmyadmin issue which is presumably part of your XAMPP install. Take it up there or reinstall XAMPP or uninstall it and install AMPPS from https://www.ampps.com/

    All the information you provided was from phpMyAdmin. However, your problem is a missing PHP handler in Apache. As Ross said, this is not a WordPress issue, and you’ll need to get help from the XAMPP folks. You might also be able to get help on serverfault or stackoverflow.

    FYI, the “error” message you saw is not an error, it’s phpMyAdmin telling you it wants to save configuration data in a database. Whether or not you do this has zero effect on the operation of your WAMP install, and the message can be safely ignored.

    (I personally gave up on things like XAMPP and Uniserver. I found it easier to download/install what I needed from apachelounge.com, windows.php.net, and dev.mysql.com.)

    Hello.

    VestaCP Team made and successfully tested error fixer for phpMyAdmin (no more annoying message “The phpMyAdmin configuration storage is not completely configured, some extended features have been deactivated”). We hope that fix will be useful and will help users.
