Hi,

I have installed localy xampp 1.7.1. When i type localhost on browser it directs to the welcome page of xampp.



when i click on phpinfo() i get a blank screen



and when i click on phpMyAdmin i get the error



Server: localhost
Error
MySQL said: Documentation

#1273 - Unknown collation: 'utf8mb4_general_ci'

thank you in advance

Simply clear all the cookies for phpmyadmin. I suspect that you had previously installed and ran a later version of MySQL/phpmyadmin, and the cookies for that are creating your problem. I just wrestled for a bit looking for the solution to the same problem and found you request for help (I assume you figured it out by now, this is for others in the future).
