Instalando o Xampp com outro Mysql e PHPMyAdmin

O pacote Xampp vem com a versão customizada do Mysql para ele, mas que pode não ser a última da Oracle, que tem o Workbench e outras utilidades. Então, vamos arriscar.

Instalando o Mysql

Baixe o pacote Mysql CE (Community Edition). Lembre-se que, ao usar o Mysql acessado por ferramentas de licença GPL, como Apache, PHP, Perl ou Python (ou o que vier depois), ele continua Free. Se acessar pelo ASP ou .NET, aí a licença é paga.

Instalando o Xampp

O pacote Xampp é mais um "Triade", ou seja, Mysql, Apache e PHP no mesmo instalador. Instale-o sem o Mysql. Ao final, é claro, ele vai dar um erro de escrita em mysql.ini, pois o Mysql não veio dele,

Criando o banco pma

O banco de dados phpmyadmin é o que armazena as informações do configurador PHPMyAdmin. Procure as scripts no Google, mas se estiver com preguiça, copie o texto abaixo num arquivo texto e salve com o nome phpmyadmin.sql:

-- --------------------------------------------------------
-- SQL Commands to set up the pmadb as described in Documentation.html.
-- 
-- This file is meant for use with MySQL 5 and above!
-- 
-- This script expects the user pma to already be existing. If we would put a
-- line here to create him too many users might just use this script and end
-- up with having the same password for the controluser.
--                                                     
-- This user "pma" must be defined in config.inc.php (controluser/controlpass)                         
--                                                  
-- Please don't forget to set up the tablenames in config.inc.php

Abra uma ferramenta como o MysqlFront ou Workbench (do pacote Oracle), e use a função importar SQL para criar o banco, importando este arquivo sql.

Criando um diretório config

Debaixo do diretório C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin, crie o diretório config, onde o phpmyadmin vais armazenar alguns arquivos temporários de configuração.

Configurando o config.inc.php

No Xampp, este arquivo fica no caminho C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin. Comente as linhas $cfg de tabelas que não estiverem no banco phpmyadmin, para poder utilizá-lo sem que apareçam erros:

No nosso caso, veja as linhas comentadas:

<?php
/*
 * This is needed for cookie based authentication to encrypt password in
 * cookie
 */
$cfg['blowfish_secret'] = 'xampp'; /* YOU SHOULD CHANGE THIS FOR A MORE SECURE COOKIE AUTH! */

/*
 * Servers configuration
 */
$i = 0;

/*
 * First server
 */
$i++;

/* Authentication type and info */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'root';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'marina';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysqli';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = true;
$cfg['Lang'] = '';

/* Bind to the localhost ipv4 address and tcp */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = '127.0.0.1';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';

/* User for advanced features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser'] = 'pma';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass'] = '';

/* Advanced phpMyAdmin features */
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma_history';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['designer_coords'] = 'pma_designer_coords';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['tracking'] = 'pma_tracking';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['userconfig'] = 'pma_userconfig';
// $cfg['Servers'][$i]['recent'] = 'pma_recent';
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_uiprefs'] = 'pma_table_uiprefs';

/*
 * End of servers configuration
 */

?>

As tabelas pma_recent e pma_table_uiprefs não estavam na script sql que baixamos, e então, friamente, eliminamos as mesmas.

Agora, divirta-se.
