Help by installation phpmyadmin!


Hey,

i have just installed phpmyadmin with
1.
Quote:
apt-get install phpmyadmin
2. I have clicked on "OK" because I havenīt got a Database
3. The windows were closed and that message shown: "flushing administrative password"
4. I have typed "apt-get install phpmyadmin" again but it is already installed.
But the installation window wasnīt the normal window...

And when i use
Quote:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
It shows me:
Quote:

x Since you are reconfiguring phpmyadmin, you may also want to reinstall x
x the database which it uses. x
x x
x If you wish to reinstall the database for phpmyadmin, you should select x
x this option. If you do not wish to do so (if you are reconfiguring the x
x package for unrelated reasons), you should not select this option. x

What i have done exactly step by step you can see in my old thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...578/page3.html

My Problem is, that i cannot connect to phpmyadmin on firefox with 00.000.00.000/phpmyadmin (0 stand for a number betwenn 1 and 9).

Can I simply reinstall (deinstall and install) phpmyadmin without any Errors or should I (and You) try to "repair" the Problem?

I hope you can help me soon. Thanks a lot for help!!

First off, slow D.O.W.N. and take a deep breath.

Errors at http://Serverhoster/phpMyAdmin ?
Did you try https://Serverhoster/phpMyAdmin ?

What do the logs show in /var/log/* on Serverhoster ?

I have never seen, nor used
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin
but I have used
Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure <package>
many many times.

I take it you have NOT read the install instructions .
http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/

is the httpd set for the authentication type you are using ?
and is mysql or MariaDB set for this authentication

have you edited your config files to match YOUR SET UP !!!!
http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/config.html

This is why i RECOMMEND that for the first 12 or so installs of the "lamp" stack
you build and MANUALLY install everything !!!!
then and only then save 30 minutes on the install and use the rpm's or deb's

setting up and CONFIGURING everything is VERY COMPLEX
not hard but COMPLEX
setting up a SECURE install of Apache
is complex
setting up the tables in the database -- while not hard can be a bit complex

adding the web based GUI "PhpMyAdmin "
IS RATHER COMPLEX if you want it SECURE
also all the other ancillary tools like
AWStats
perl
imagemagick ( if adding things that use images like " Gallery2")

all this makes for a bit of a "Gordian's knot" of complexity

none of it is hard to do
you just NEED to study like you would for taking a collage final exam

Thanks for your answer,
when i use nitrade.de/phpmyadmin (in this example my Serverhoster is nitrado.de but in real it is another)
I see a page form phpmyadmin where i could login (but I have no password)

But when i try to connect with my IP-Adress from my vServer (Example: "12.345.67.891/phpmyadmin")
It shows me:
Quote:
Not Found

The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at 84.200.24.187 Port 80
I think i must reinstall phpmyadmin, because I also have no password or username or something like that could specify.
Should I try to reinstall phpmyadmin? Or is it possible that there will come many Errors while trying deinstall and install phpmyadmin?

Quote:

I donīt know, how i could see that with Putty so i searched the files with Filezilla and loaded up the screenshots here:
http://fs1.directupload.net/images/1...p/hhsua67j.png
http://fs1.directupload.net/images/1...p/yodnoasq.png

I hope you can help me, thanks

The installation was only with on step, i couldnīt type in a password or something like that, so it wasnīt the normal installation.
Sorry, my English isnīt the best and with Debian I also havenīt got much experience. So I think to do something manually by my own would be a BIG Mistake becauste than, everything were destroyed by myself

No
you do not need to reinstall
you NEED to configure apache and mysql ( or MariaDB)
AND!!!
configure PhpMyAdmin's CONFIGURE FILE

please read , then REREAD
then reread the rereading
as in study
think of it as ----
installing the software is a "pass / fail " only 400 class
and you MUST!!!!! get a 4.o in the class

ok, but why can everybody install phpmyadmin with
Quote:
apt-get install phpmyadmin
And than everybody can choose "Apache2" and the Password and so on..
And I could only click on "OK" and not more?!
And why can everybody completly install phpmyadmin only with the "configuration" in Putty (with the windows which are shown after you typed in "apt-get install phpmyadmin"?

Is it possible thate more Errors are available, when I REINSTALL phpmyadmin?


Thanks

installing phpmyadmin
is easy
it is ONLY a collection of scripts

scripts YOU NEED TO CONFIGURE!!!

installing ONLY places them in the correct LOCATION


phpmyadmin
and Apache and php and meriadb are NOT like games

you MUST SET THEM UP AND CONFIGURE THEM
you need to configure apache to use the correct authentication that mysql/meria is using
yuo need to CREATE the data base tables in the DATABASE
and reset the default password
user:root
passwordassword

you then NEED to configure pahmyadmin to USE THE AUTHENTICATION method set up in Apache's httpd

installing the FILES
is only about 5 % of the needed tasks

the other 95% is CONFIGURING EVERYTHING

Thanks,
is it possible that you say me, what to do step by step? :/ Because I really donīt know what to do becaue every tutorial is very easy only with a configuartion in the Setup. But by me there wasnīt more windows where I can cofigurate
And please ALSO answer this question:
Is it possible that more Errors are available, when I REINSTALL phpmyadmin?

Thank you very much

step #1
the current Apache documentation
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/

the Mysql Docs
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/


--- maria db the REPLACEMENT for the old mysql
https://mariadb.org/
the php docs
http://php.net/docs.php
and the above PhpMyadmin docs
http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/


step 2
study and some more studying
write out ON PAPER using a pencil( #2 is good )
a outline for a step by step install

then

reread the documentation and edit the mistakes in the "install outline" you put on paper

step 3
install everything

But I have even the Problem I cannont connect to my vServer / to phpmyadmin with:
Quote:

(die Numbers are in this example only imaginary, so in real for every Number stands a other Number (between 1-9))

When I try to do this (to type in the "command" which is in the Quote in firefox) i see this "Error":
Quote:
Not Found

The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Debian) Server at 84.200.24.187 Port 80
I hope you can help me, thanks!
