Configure PHP to work with MySQL and phpMyAdmin

Question

My goal is to set up a forum on php only locally on my Windows 7 machine to check how it works.

I have successfully installed Apache HTTP Server and PHP v5. Then I downloaded and extracted the phpbb-forum software and put it in my root folder. Then I realized that I needed some kind of database, so I downloaded and installed MySQL. To set up my database, I also downloaded and extracted phpMyAdmin, but I cannot get it to work. When I open my browser and navigate to my phpMyAdmin folder, I just get the following:

I use my Apache server to preview my site, where I use some php enable functions, so I know that I have a “working” PHP installation. The MySQL service also runs on my computer.

However, do you need to configure PHP and / or Apache to get phpMyAdmin to work correctly? I am a complete noob on this, so I suppose these could be numerous flaws.

Thanks ..// Realiserad
