The most frequently used operations +are supported by the user interface (managing databases, tables, fields, +relations, indexes, users, permissions, etc), while you still have the +ability to directly execute any SQL statement. + +It is recommended to use libmcrypt and mcrypt packages with phpmyadmin to +speed up database access considerably. + +By default, there is only a sample config file included with the package. +You can either copy that file and edit it according to your taste or you +can do a graphical setup. Both processes are detailed in the docs. + +You can override DOCROOT, PHPUSER, and PHPGROUP at build time. +They default to DOCROOT=/var/www/htdocs, PHPUSER=root, PHPGROUP=apache. + +ADDITIONAL NOTE: +You may also have to recompile PHP to include support for mcrypt. Without this +you may see warnings about mcrypt extension in phpmyadmin. Please see the +link below on recompiling PHP with mcrypt support.
