phpmyadmin problems

mahmoud · 11-06-2008, 07:10 AM

Hi
i have installed phpmyadmin on my server but when i try to login with this path http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php
it gives me a blank page using the web browser but when i try it from the command line i get http 500 error
but when i try to login using http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ i get a
Forbidden error on both the commend line and browser
Note i installed the same one on my own system and it works fine with the same config but the major differents is that my system is
Fedora 9 32bit and the server is Fedora 9 64bit
Can anyone help with this problem

What is the error you get in apache's error_log?

mahmoud · 11-07-2008, 02:58 AM

there is nothing is the error_log or php log that say something is wrong
also if i create a php or html script and insert it in the same folder and try to open it
it opens with no problem but when i try the index page it just stays blank

Try this hint to see if that's the case of your problem. Also the "Forbidden" error means that you didn't add index.php in your DirectoryIndex directive.

Did you saw the page allowing you to change the theme?
What version of phpmyadmin are you using and how did you configured it?
Try the setup script to see if it works (make a backup of config.inc.php before starting).

i cant access the setup script gives me the forbidden error
the version is 3.0.1.1 and i installed it using yum
and config it manually i didnt make much changes to the config
i dont understand how i am going to change the theme if i cant see the index page

The URL for chaning the theme is: http://yourserver.com/phpMyAdmin/mai...utf-8&server=1
I think it's worth a try since nothing else works.
Or as a last resort, you can uninstall it using yum and install it from phpmyadmin site.
