Hi, I was trying to install phpMyAdmin in my laptop (Linux singh-VGN-CR35G-L 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux). Everything went well except the last part of invoking the setup wizard. During invoking, it was mentioned in the procedures to follow a schema: http://{your IP address}/phpmyadmin/setup/index.php

First thing, I have tried this with localhost, since i am trying to install phpmyadmin on my laptop (also with my institutional IP address) but everytime I type it gives me "Not Found err" that index.php is not found on this server. I think there is a problem with my Apache installation.
I then tried to restart my apache server in that too I got the following error:

singh@singh-VGN-CR35G-L:/etc$ apache2ctl start
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
Action 'start' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

I installed Apache distribution yesterday...when I am cheking the server with index.html ..its working...but its not recognizing any PHP files or so...

Could anyone help me here???

Thanx

Hi,

You should restart apache (not start, as it's already running) for the changes to take effect. So you have to run:
After that you can point your browser to the setup URL

Hi bathroy,

Thank you for the reply. With your input, I successfully restarted apache server. But still its showing me "no files found" error while invoking the set up for phpMyAdmin from my browser.

M i missing something here??

Which IP address should I use??

Can you help me??

Ciao

Hi,

If you used ubuntu apt-get to install phpMyadmin, there is no need to setup anything according to the documentation. If not, copy config.sample.inc.php, to config.inc.php and you're be fine.
In case you still get errors, have a look at apache error_log to see why.

From the same computer you can use http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Or you can replace localhost with 127.0.0.1, or your computer's IP address
The latter is used also when you want to access your box from another computer in the same network

Regards

Dear Bathroy,

when that did not workout...i install phpmyadmin using apt-get and followed the process and it worked.

But still do not the reason why it was not working previously. ...

Have a nice weekend.
