Topic: phpadmin

[ldavies]

I have few basic questions about this:

1) Is it already installed on e-smith?  I have the 6.0 version.
I am thinking it is not.
2) Presuming I have to install it where should I install it to?
A new i-bay?
3) How does e-smith know where to go to when you type https://myserver/phpmyadmin
4) Do I have to set up a new "full control" user and log on with that user or is there already one set up when I do the install that I can use.

Many thanks for any help.

A partial answer

1) Is it already installed on e-smith? I have the 6.0 version.

phpMyAdmin is not installed by default, but see:
http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/phpMyAdmin

This page shows where to get the latest version that has been packaged for the SME Server and how to install it.

2) Presuming I have to install it where should I install it to?

This package will be installed to /opt/administration/phpmyadmin rather than an ibay.

3) How does e-smith know where to go to when you type https://myserver/phpmyadmin

If you look in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf you will get an idea of how the server knows were to look.

4) Do I

I didn't understand this - hopefully someone else can help.

Thanks much wellsi.  This is the second time today you have helped me

I was going to go with another windows based gui to connect but this seemed so simple I will use it.

However I have run into a problem.

When I go to https://myserver/phpmyadmin and enter my username 'mysqladmin" and password I get the following error message (after the 3rd attempt):
-------------------
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.
------------------

I had previously set up full privileges  for the following users in mysql using the command prompt (GRANT PRIVILEGES..... WITH GRANT OPTION;) which seemed to work OK :
mysqladmin@localhost
mysqladmin@mydomainname.com

Perhaps you could take quick look at my other post at http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=21956.0 for more info on my set up.  

I am stuck at this point....

Thanks again,

wellsi don't bother.

I did a search and using e-smith username 'admin' and it's password everything worked great

Thanks again
