RE: PHP and mySQL startup

I didn't run setup (but then I didn't follow any directions either.)

Enable mcrypt within Zend Core: http://192.168.0.1:89/ZendCore/

Log in, click Configuration, click Extensions, click the enable icon by mcrypt, click Save Settings. Restart Apache.

I'm 'this close' to having phpMyAdmin set up and running.

I'm following the Redbook "Discovering MySQL on IBM i5/OS". I'm in section
4.3.3 where it has these instructions for an automatic setup script. These
instructions:

------------------------------------------------------------

Automatic setup script for phpMyAdmin

Instead of manually editing the config.inc.php file, you can use the setup script as explained in the following steps.

1. Create a folder named config inside the phpMyAdmin directory. On the i5/OS PASE shell, type the following commands to create and give write permissions to the new
directory:
mkdir config
chmod o+rw config

2. Run the setup script in your browser:
http://your_host/path_to_phpMyAdmin/scripts/setup.php

In our case, we entered:
http://rchas55.rchland.ibm.com:89/phpMyAdmin/scripts/setup.php

--------------------------------------------------------------

In my case, I entered: http://192.168.0.1:89/phpMyAdmin/scripts/setup.php
It doesn't work. The redbook didn't say anything about creating a setup.php file, though it talks about a config.inc.php, which I don't even have. The redbook is almost a year old, which may have something to do with it. I tried it without a setup.php file, and I tried it creating an empty setup.php file.

I CAN use the link http://192.168.0.1:89/phpMyAdmin however, and it opens phpMyAdmin. Don't have a clue what to do just yet. Got these errors at the bottom of that page:

"Cannot load mcrypt extension. Please check your PHP configuration."
"The configuration file now needs a secret passphrase (blowfish_secret)."

The first error may have something to do with not having done proper setup.
The second error probably the same, though it sounds like something from a porn site. It's the first day of kindergarten for me.
