phpmyadmin 500 error, just on one server

I have a Ubuntu 10.04 server and a new Ubuntu 12.04 server. On both the servers the phpmyadmin files are the same. But on the 12.04 server I get a 500 server error.

I read multiple posts about the problem and followed the tips there. But still do not get it to work. Not on :8080/phpmyadmin or domain.tld/phpmyadmin

My apache2 logfile does not show a error. Only the init set error, but that is just a warning.

Is there a way to let phpmyadmin log the error's, or is this a apache problem?

On the server I have ossec-hids, apc, memcache, mod_deflate and mod_security installed. Removed theme all, restarted the server, but still not working. Same software is also installed on the 10.04 server, and there phpmyadmin is working.

Where else can I look to find the error?

Thanks for your help.

 

In /etc/apache2/conf.d/ i have a symlink file phpmyadmin.conf to /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
I do not have a /etc/apache2/conf directory.

Content of the apache.conf file:

# phpMyAdmin default Apache configuration
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>

php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp
php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/
</IfModule>

Still a 500 error and nothing in the apache log file.

I just thought about webmail that also uses a alias and tried that. /webmail is working good.
So is it really a problem with apache (and alias), or is there something wrong with the phpmyadmin files in /usr/share/phpmyadmin then?

 

Still 500 error after restart apache.

Checked the open-basedir setting in ISPConfig but that looks ok too:
/usr/share/phpmyadmin:/etc/phpmyadmin:/var/lib/phpmyadmin

Tried with the ip adress again. But also the 500 server error.

What i did next was I put a index.html in the /usr/share/phpmyadmin folder with some dummy text in it.
When I go to the url http://myip/phpmyadmin/index.html the page with dummy text is shown.

Alias works, but the index.php gives the error I think. How can I check what is going wrong?

 

My phpmyadmin is working now .

I made a copy of the phpmyadmin folder on my Ubuntu 10.04 server, extracted it on the Ubuntu 12.04 server and it works great now.

 

Same problem here, Ubuntu Server 11.04, apache+php OK, but phpmyadmin error 500 . Any new idea?

Thanks!

 

What's the content of /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf?
Any errors in your Apache logs?

I think it's alright, but doesn't work .

Looks ok. Do you have mod_php installed?
