php HELP!!

[Dagon]

After setting up phpBB, the server never got past creating phpBB tables, so the next day I tried again.. Evidently the tables are already there so I need to delete the DB and start again. Admins tell me to run php script or use phpMyAdmin (which I was going to install anyways) to delete the tables.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Testing DB Connection...DB Connection Good!
Selected database harrison...Database Selected!
Creating phpBB tables an inserting default data...
Creating table cat ERROR! Could not create table. Reason: Table 'catagories' already exists
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOOO I load up phpMyAdmin, and follow the directions, and now I get this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning: Unable to access ./libraries/auth/.auth.lib.php in /home3/harrison/public_html/phpMyAdmin/libraries/common.lib.php on line 337

Warning: Failed opening './libraries/auth/.auth.lib.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home3/harrison/public_html/phpMyAdmin/libraries/common.lib.php on line 337

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: pma_auth_check() in /home3/harrison/public_html/phpMyAdmin/libraries/common.lib.php on line 338
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sucks when I don't know what's going on...At least with programming I can ask a fellow student.
Here nobody knows php!

This was the settings that supposedly works on spaceports.
http://cgi-bin.spaceports.com/~wysardry/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=2

['host'] = 'localhost';
['port'] = '';
['socket'] = '';
['connect_type'] = 'socket';
['stduser'] = '';
['stdpass'] = '';
['adv_auth'] = FALSE;
['user'] = 'username';
['password'] = 'yourpass';
['only_db'] = 'username';
['verbose'] = '';
['bookmarkdb'] = '';
['bookmarktable'] = '';


You know how hard it is to find line 338 in word? (public computer)

_I_ think_ this is the subroutine it's bitching about..(in common lib)

// Gets the authentication library that fits the cfgServer settings
// and run authentication
include('./libraries/auth/' . $cfgServer['auth_type'] . '.auth.lib.php');
if (!PMA_auth_check()) {
PMA_auth();
} else {
PMA_auth_set_user();
}

It looks like it can't find or cant access ./libraries/auth/.auth.lib.php
Maybe try setting the permissions to something more open?

I figured it out...

Auth_type wasn't filled out...
Funny how the guide never mentioned it...
Oh well, thanks guys..I'll post the URL once I get it looking pretty!
