We are running a Suse 10.1 webserver for website development and testing. We use vhosts so that several sites under development can be supported at once. Sites are accessed as "192.168.1.154/~username/webpagename" from the development machines. We use mySQL databases and would like to use phpMyAdmin.

The latest version of phpMyAdmin was downloaded and all components unloaded into the directory "/srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin". When we attempt to run this as "192.168.1.154/phpMyaAdmin" we get an ojbect not found error. Upon checking the error_log I find that the file that was not found is "/home/user1/public_html/phpMyAdmin" Apache is looking for the file using the first vhosts entry in vhosts.conf.

I've done this in the past because requests that did not begin with a "~" and a username were handled by the default-server functions, which I believe I have set up properly.

Any help on how to run a mix of vhosts type sites and non-vhosts site on the same machine would be appreciated.

try to set an alias to the phpMyAdmin directory
Alias /phpadmin/ "/srv/www/htdocs/phpMyAdmin/"

in httpd.conf. Maybe that helps...

Have spent much time researching this and may have found the answer. It appears that with Apache 2 you don't have a default server anymore once you declare a vhost. The first vhost entry becomes the default, exactly what I am seeing. Seems everyone gets around this with a "default" vhosts entry so I'll try that.

What did you do to fix this

You've posted to a thread thats 11 years old, and it's the same issue we're trying to help you with on your own, current, thread.

Please answer the questions in that thread...I think we're getting close over there.
