hi everybody

i have linux server application based on centos 5 that run httpd daemon from /usr/local/pf/conf/httpd.conf which is generated from the
/usr/local/pf/conf/templates/httpd.conf.apache22 file

the problem is every time i run my linux server application i am not able to access phpmyadmin unless i stop my linux server application which is stop it httpd daemon then start "service httpd start"

i have been told by forum moderator to create an alias for my phpmyadmin in Virtual Host but it stil dont work, i am not able access my phpmyadmin site

this is what i have done to solve this problem
- open /usr/local/pf/conf/templates/httpd.conf.apache22 file then look for <VirtualHost *:%%admin_port%%>
- add Alias /phpmyadmin "/usr/share/phpmyadmin" (Failed)
- add Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin (Failed)
- add Alias /phpmyadmin "/usr/share/phpmyadmin/" (Failed)
- add Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin/ (Failed)

i am also set /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf with
<Directory "/usr/share/phpmyadmin">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from All
</Directory>

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Alias /mysqladmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

NB : my phpmyadmin is install on /usr/share/phpmyadmin with /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf as phpmyadmin configuration file

any idea why i still cant open my phpmyadmin site ? or why i cant run phpmyadmin together with my linux server application because it use the same daemon (httpd daemon)

thank you

Did you look at the Apache error log?

i try to look at /usr/local/ but doesnt found apache.

Look at ErrorLog directive in the httpd.conf file.

hi quanta

this morning i try to use other version of phpmyadmin,the way i install phpmyadmin is same
i use rpm package,this time i use phpmyadmin 2.11.9.6.1.el5.rf.noarch.rpm
after i install php-pdo and php-mysql depedencies i have succeed install phpmyadmin

i try to run phpmyadmin by running httpd daemon with service httpd start command,it success, then i try run httpd daemon with service packetfence start(my opensource program), it show that httpd daemon is running

then i try open phpmyadmin use http://192.168.1.10/phpmyadmin --> dont work
i try make alias on /usr/local/pf/conf/templates/httpd.conf.apache22

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

then i run service packetfence restart, i try open https://192.168.1.10:1443/phpmyadmin/

it show error : Existing configuration file (./config.inc.php) is not readable

look at google it say that this is permission problem

i run ls -l at /usr/share/phpmyaddmin it show the permission of config.inc.php
-rw-r----- 1 root apache 1763 Jul 10 02:20 config.inc.php

how do i fix this problem?

What does "don't work" mean? Did you look at the error log? Did you read the phpMyAdmin document?
I'm not familiar with packetfense. Does it run as apache user?

@quanta

just got works open phpmyadmin from https://192.168.1.10:1443/phpmyadmin after i change config.inc.php permission into 664

question : is set the permission file into 664 quite secure ?
664 means owner has read and write permission; group has read and write permission ; other only has read permission

previously -rw-r----- , in numeric 640 means owner has read write;group has read and other nothing.

# ps -ef | egrep 'packetfense|httpd'

how do i know the result of that command show it run as apache user ?

this the command result
/conf/httpd.conf
pf 2863 2809 0 02:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /usr/local/pf
/conf/httpd.conf
pf 2864 2809 0 02:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /usr/local/pf

You should put the command output into [ code ] tag to keep formatting.

From the above result, look at the first column, your Apache run as the pf user, therefore you should change the group to pf:
and change permission back to 640.
