No SQL query!

[silly]

Afpter installing XAMPP 1.416 on Mandrake v10, whenever I try to setup tables in a newly created database with an uploaded query, I get this message: "No SQL query!.

I know the query is OK so I suspect there may be an issue with the path or rights to the location where phpMyAdmin uploads the query before executing it. I don't really know for sure.

I tried adding the following values in the config.inc.php file:

$cfg['UploadDir'] = './upload_dir';
$cfg['SaveDir'] = './save_dir';
$cfg['docSQLDir'] = './docSQL_dir';
$cfg['TempDir'] = './temp_dir';


I created corresponding directories and chmod 777 the hell out of them just in case. As YOU might have expected that did not change a thing.
I am still unable to upload and execute a query.

I am fairly new to Linux. Can someone help me with this one.
