Hello,

I've installed a LAMP stack in my 7.10 version of ubuntu using the following commands;

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo apt-get install php5
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
After doing that phpMyAdmin should be installed at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

However when I navigate to t http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ I get an error.

Can anyone help?

TIA

Peter, can you tell us what the error is? What do you see, it anything, in your Apache logs?

Error...

The requested URL /phpmyadmin was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.4 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.3-1ubuntu6 Server at localhost Port 80

apache log

[Fri Apr 11 14:36:31 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/phpmyadmin

Did you restart apache?

Apache needs to load phpmyadmin.conf to set up the aliases

yes didn't work

What's in /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf ? Does the target of the alias exist?

What's in error_log for your apache setup (look in httpd.conf for log location if you can't find them)

do you have a directory called "phpMyAdmin" in /var/www?

I don't know about installing from the repo, but when installing from source, the directory is called "phpMyAdmin-<version>"?

if that doesn't solve it... what are the contents of /var/www (or /var/www/html or /var/www/htdocs depending on your setup)?

What are the contents of the phpMyAdmin dir?

Can you view any html page on localhost through a browser?

>>do you have a directory called "phpMyAdmin" in /var/www?
No

I have a /usr/share/phpmyadmin

and can create a symlink from this to /var/www this will bring the phpmyadmin page up but with errors

here are the errors;


Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/lib/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php:64) in /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/common.lib.php on line 413

Billy,

I don't have a What's in /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf directory

Does the target of the alias exist? I don't know what this means "target?" "alias?"

Is there a file called phpmyadmin.conf (or similar) in /etc/httpd/conf.d what what I meant. it should look something like

Hi Billy,

There is no such file in phpmyadmin.conf this directory

if I do a locate phpmyadmin.conf I find it in /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf~

and here are the contents of that file

<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex index.php

# Authorize for setup
<Files setup.php>
# For Apache 1.3 and 2.0

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
php_flag track_vars On
php_flag register_globals Off
php_value include_path .
</IfModule>
</Directory>

That's a bit odd.

Try adding

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

to the top of that file, restart apache and see what happens

Note - looks like Ubuntu paths for apache are different from RH

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 and I installed LAMP, which works, and now phpmyadmin with synaptic. The login screen comes up for the application in localhost but it won't accept my login. I'm the original and only user. Is there a default for 1st time use?

fragos,

it is your mysql password


if you have not set the p-word try login: root and no p-word

FYI Billy and Brian,

I reloaded phpmyadmin and then created a symlink between /usr/share/phpmyadmin and /www/var "don't know why things always have to be so inconsistent between different version s of ubuntu have a lot of issues for 7.10"


Thanks for your help!
