phpmyadmin problem

Hi all,

I want to ask about the basic information. I have find in all of the links. But unable to solve my problems. I want to use phpmyadmin. But the funny thing is:
I am able to load

http://localhost/phpinfo.php

BUT I am unable to load

http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/

with this error:

Not Found

The requested URL /phpMyAdmin/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.26 with Suhosin-Patch Server at localhost Port 80

Please help me. I have reinstall many times. But it doesn´t working.

Tried lowercase URI?

*Also please give proper host and service hardening a thought before exposing the machine.

Hi unSpawn,

I have tried the lowercase, but it still cannot. Can you brief me about this: Also please give proper host and service hardening a thought before exposing the machine.

Thank you so much for reply.

OK. Tell us how you've installed it (commands and output please). Let's get to the hardening questions after you've found your stuff.

Here is my step:

sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin

Thats all

Here is the output:

You can use 'ls -l' (that's a lowercase L at the end) to find the exact name of the phpmyadmin directory and use that name in the webbrowser.

ls -l /var/www

If you 'vi /etc/apache2/apache2.conf +299' what does it say wrt to the location of "/etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf"?
