phpmyadmin install dislays index only

rioguia · 11-08-2003, 01:08 PM

I am installing phpmyadmin in order to install php-nuke (the only instructions i have been able to find on php-nuke involve phpmyadmin). i have compiled and installed mysqul, apache, and php from source files. after installing and configuring phpmyadmin pursuant to these instructions http://www.ubbcentral.com/resources/PhPMyAdmin.html
i am unable to get the phpadmin interface to display.

when i try to browse to http://192.168.0.3/phpMyAdmin-2.5.4/
i get "Index of /phpMyAdmin-2.5.4" (just aas if i was doing an ftp download)

the only error message i am getting is that when i restart [root@testy phpMyAdmin-2.5.4]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd2 restart, I get the following message:
[warn] module php4_module is already loaded, skipping

there is no other php install on this box ([root@testy phpMyAdmin-2.5.4]# rpm -qa | grep php = 0).

my info-php file displays the following

Doing some follow up, i tried to add an .htaccess file with "DirectoryIndex index.php." in the phpmyadmin directory. I followed up by reading the reference to these types of files in apache web server administration by ault. it didn't work and i tried an "allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (ip address). neither worked.

i am wondering if i have the wrong version of the software. i raise this question after reviewing the cryptic install instructions at http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/

Quote:

Choose and download a distribution kit with the files having the extension (.php3 or .php) depending on the way your web/PHP server interprets those extensions.

i've reviewed the downloads and don't understand the distinction mentioned in this instruction. can anyone help explain was this quote means in terms of selecting a download?

In your Apache configuration file (usually /etc/apache/conf/httpd.conf), look for a section looking like this:

Code:

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi
</IfModule>

Add index.php to the end of that line (after index.cgi or whatever filename is last) and restart Apache.
