Hi, I've logged in as root to virtualmin and installed phpmyadmin which appears to be fine. However, when I log in here: http://mydomain.com/phpmyadmin I get a 404 error. Any ideas how to debug this problem to get phpmyadmin to work with LAMP? What steps I might be missing? Thank you! Tim PS If it matters, I'm running Ubuntu Gutsy, Apache 2, PHP5, latest MySQL. Thx!
Not 100% sure Hi, I'm not 100% sure where these locations are. The phpmyadmin appears to be at both /etc/phpmyadmin and /usr/share/phpmyadmin. The /usr location includes a /scripts folder which is not included in the /etc folder. So I think, in this case, the /usr folder is the true location. As for the document root, I'm also unsure. I'm using virtualmin, if that helps. Any ideas how I can find out? This is a generic Ubuntu Gutsy install using your Perfect Server instructions. Tim
Take a look at the Apache configuration in /etc/apache2 to find out about the document root for mydomain.com.
Not 100% Sure Hi, In apache2.conf, in /etc/apache2, is it this line: # Include the virtual host configurations: Include /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ I see an httpd.conf file but it's 0kb. In the /sites-enabled folder, I see .conf file for the three virtual sites I've set up for testing. In digging further, the three sites I've set up have their document roots here: home/site-name/public_html Basically I didn't see in the apache .conf file any phrase like "document root". Thx! Tim
Here's the output: Code: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-04-07 23:48 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2008-04-08 05:01 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 2008-03-31 00:42 000-default -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/default lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 2008-04-07 23:38 site1.com.conf -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/site2.com.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 2008-04-07 22:23 site2.com.conf -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/site2.com.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 47 2008-04-07 23:48 site3.com.conf -> /etc/apache2/sites-available/site3.com.conf I'd love to know where you're headed with all these questions, if there's a series of things I can check rather than one at a time. Thanks, though, for your time so far... Tim
Can you see the document root of mydomain.com in /etc/apache2/sites-available/site2.com.conf or /etc/apache2/sites-available/site3.com.conf? BTW, why are both site1.com.conf and site2.com.conf pointing to /etc/apache2/sites-available/site2.com.conf?
No. Each site1.conf, site2.conf, and site3.conf file in /sites-available has the correct unique file path to the document root for each site. Only site1.conf has the document root file path of mydomain.com because that's what the VPS is configured for that domain. The other file in the /sites-available folder, default, has a document root directive of /var/www/ My typo, sorry! I ran the command again and everything is correct. Tim
I think the easiest solution in this case would be to download phpMyAdmin from the phpMyAdmin web site and install it manually in the web site instead of trying to reconfigure the Ubuntu package.
Also, Falko, what port(s) does phpmyadmin use? As I'm installing these applications, I'm finding that I need to update my iptables file to open ports to make the applications work. I opened 2083 which is the port I currently use with another host but perhaps phpmyadmin uses another default port? Thx
No. IT doesn't "use" a port - it's run by your web server, so you must open the port that your web server runs on - usually port 80.
I figured out the problem and it was fairly easy. I just added phpmyadmin to the /etc/apache2/mods-available/alias.conf file to map my folder URL to the /user/phpmyadmin folder on the server. Basically I use XAMPP on my computer and so I went through all its apache configuration files to find the reference to phpmyadmin. Now I see, however, that the instructions to install PHP that I followed in your tutorial somehow failed to install PHP: when I call up phpmyadmin, I get the code instead of the server processing the PHP. So I'll have to figure out how to install PHP.
Are you referring to one of the "Perfect Server" setups? In these setups I disable PHP globally so that it can be enabled on a per-site basis by ISPConfig. If you don't use ISPConfig, you can undo the steps to disable PHP.
Interesting, that's how it must have happened. Webmin, what I'm using (ISPConfig proved too difficult, cranky), doesn't appear to have such a virtual site by virtual site setting. Or I don't need it. Thanks for the clarification. Tim
