[SOLVED] phpmyadmin

leupi · 09-14-2010, 03:11 PM

I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 server on a virtual machine with LAMP. When I point a web browser at the machines IP address I get Apache's 'It Works' page so that much is done correctly.

I am now trying to install phpMyAdmin. I installed it successfully but cannot seem to do anything with it. I installed it via the repositories and it seemed to go fine. How do I actually get to it? I tried appending phpmyadmin to the end of the URL that I used to get to Apache's 'It Works' page but got a page not found error.

I hope that all this makes sense.

Thanks

Hi,

By default the URL to phpMyAdmin is http://<IP-address/phpmyadmin (case sensitive). If you get a 404 error, make sure you have /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf.

Code:

ls -l /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

This file is usually a symlink to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Thanks for the reply. It seems that I don't have the file

Code:

/etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

although I do have

Code:

/etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

I have Ubuntu 10.04 Server edition and I installed LAMP during the OS installation and then installed phpmyadmin via apt-get so I would have expected everything to be pretty standard. How should I proceed from here?

Thanks.
