Help with phpMyAdmin setup.php script

Hi all,
I am a newbie to Arch Linux even though I've been running Linux (-only) for more than a year. I have been mostly running Debian based distributions, so sometimes I feel a bit lost on Arch. So far I have been able to set everything up, from wireless to X server (by just reading the instructions, and some posts in the forum).
Now I am stuck with something that is not so distro-related, I was following this guide (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP) but I got stuck at the configuration script for phpMyAdmin.
In fact, when I go to the address http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/scripts/setup.php I can only see the PHP code, not the web page.
Now I am sure that Apache is running properly since my php test page runs just fine. So I cannot figure out why the setup.php page does not show correctly.

Could somebody please give me some hints?

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks for your time.

Re: Help with phpMyAdmin setup.php script

if other php files work correctly chances are that it's related to shot-tags being disabled by default in /etc/php.ini

<? < short-tag ; <?php < long/more correct tag

Re: Help with phpMyAdmin setup.php script

Thanks for your reply, however even enabling the short tags, the results are the same. Also, checking the setup.php file I have noticed that there are no short tags there. To be sure I have enabled them anyways and tried again, but had no results.
Thanks anyway.

Re: Help with phpMyAdmin setup.php script

Well, today I tried again and the page *magically* showed up... probably I needed a reboot, but still it's too bad I don't know what the problem was.
Thanks for you help so far smile

Re: Help with phpMyAdmin setup.php script

np .. i forgot one point though , you needed to restart the web server so the php module takes the new settings. this is the case fro all config changes to either teh websierver or a modules/addon wink

Re: Help with phpMyAdmin setup.php script

Yes, I knew that, and I have restarted both httpd and mysqld numerous times. Only the reboot seems to have solved the problem. Very curious.
