Thanks william.
I got it flying last night. Though the way i ve seen it done before and the way i was doing it prevoiusly was installing phpmyadmin into an ibay, then configureing things from there.
Doing this way (which does work) it seems to install phpmyadmin into phpadmin, as displayed by the browser, but this doesnot diplay under the ibays ??. Is it instslled in the guts of linux somewhere. just want to understand so i know how to fix it when/if it breaks.
What the differnece in the php myadmin's available is interesting. I was looking on the contribs site for something that listed what was compatiable with sme 7.0 but had no luck
Thanks for your help
Pete
