[SOLVED] phpMyAdmin installation

(1/3) > >>

mealogav:
I've installed phpMyAdmin on a newly installed and updated sme8 server, but I can't get the login page to appear.

I've read all the forum entries that seem to offer pointers - but still have the same problem.

yum reports that it's installed :


--- Quote ---[root@databox2 phpMyAdmin]# yum list installed smeserver-phpmyadmin

There are many php files in the /usr/share/phpMyAdmin  folder.

The access configuration shows as private with admin access enabled :

--- Quote ---[root@databox2 phpMyAdmin]# config show phpmyadmin
phpmyadmin=configuration
    access=private
    adminaccess=enabled
    multiaccess=disabled

--- End quote ---

/etc/httpd/conf.d/  contains a  phpMyAdmin.conf   file.
Near the top of this file are the alias entries

--- Quote ---Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

--- End quote ---

All this looks correct to me, but when I browse to  https://databox2/phpMyAdmin   (databox2 being my hostname) from the local network all I get is a "404 Not found" error.

At the top of the  /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf  file are the comments :

--- Quote ---# Allows only localhost by default
#
# But allowing phpMyAdmin to anyone other than localhost should be considered
# dangerous unless properly secured by SSL

--- End quote ---

Surely this can't mean that by default only a browser running on the sme server can access phpMyAdmin - can it?
I'm on WinXP PC connected to the local network of the sme server.  I should be able to access phpMyAdmin from that shouldn't I?

Thanks for any help ...  Gavin

Try using
https://yourdomain.com/phpMyAdmin
https://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin
I just installed that contrib & the login & pw screen opens OK in a browser from a workstation on the LAN when using the above styled URL.
The admin user login works OK too, by default.

Thanks for your reply Janet,

It would appear that only /phpmyadmin works  (all lower case)  /phpMyAdmin  doesn't work.  Even though there is an apache alias for this and everywhere else on the internet it is refered to as phpMyAdmin!!

I can't believe that I haven't tried that before - but provided I use all lower case it just works now.

Thanks for prompting me in the right direction ...  Just got to get a procedure for installation of updates and contribs without internet access now on the production server - but that's a different thread!!

Thanks Gavin

Although I notice you said you used

--- Quote ---https://yourdomain.com/phpMyAdmin
--- End quote ---

That doesn't work for me.  Only  https://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin  works.

If I use http://   it will redirect to https://  on port 443

but only lower case works - did /phpMyAdmin really work for you or did you actually use /phpmyadmin  ??

Thanks Gavin

Sorry my original reply was not correct, I meant to say the above.
