How to install phpMyAdmin into fun_plug 0.5/ffp in DNS-323

I just completed the installation of the phpmyadmin into my DNS-323 NAS.  Before that I also installed the lighttpd with php and also mysql.

Since there is no proper tutorial available in English, I would to share. This guide was actually provided by WOLF-U.li however it is in German.

Here are the steps:

Download phpmyadmin from phpmyadmin website
Use Winrar to unzip (unzip twice) the file since the tar xvf just does not work since the downloaded file has duplicate gz.gz extension.
Rename the last unzipped file contain multiple files into “phpmyadmin”
Create a file named config.inc.php using Notepad++ which contains the following code:
/* Servers configuration */
$i = 0;
/* Server localhost */
$i++;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'localhost';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['extension'] = 'mysql';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['connect_type'] = 'tcp';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['compress'] = false;
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http';
?>

chmod 705 the above file to make it not world writable

Save the file into your newly created phpmyadmin folder

Place the phpmyadmin folder into your www/pages/ folder alongside your web index.php

Now  you need to uncomment mbstring.so by removing the ;  in the php.ini file located in ffp/etc:
extension=mbstring.so

Now you are done

You can open the phpmyadmin from your internet browser using http://<your DNS IP address>/phpmyadmin

Enter using your relevant ID and password, may be your root.
