phpmyadmin is not working after I installed it
I am using ubuntu-11.04.
I followed these steps on this site:
So far my apache2, php, and mysql are working fine except phpmyadmin... Whenever I run this:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/I get this error on my browser:
Not Found
The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.17 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80
Consider, checking answer provide by @sangharsh.
Please read this section in Ubuntu wiki. You will need to configure your apache2.conf to make phpMyAdmin works.
gksu gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.confThen add the following line to the end of the file.
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.confThen restart apache
/etc/init.d/apache2 restartI love you @JohanSJA
No need of manual configurations, apt-get ing is enough to run phpmyadmin
I finally got JohanSJA's instructions to work after I restarted the apache server using `/etc/init.d/apache2 restart`. Also I moved the `Include` line to the **bottom** of the file as instructed.
I included apache.conf at the bottom and restarted apache server afterwards, still getting not found, how can I debug it ?
This worked for me, just remember to restart apache2
great but i dont know why manual conf needed..is this a bug?
This is correct answer .
@Tachyons apt-get ing wasn't enough. I had to Include the conf per the answer to get it working.
Muaaaah ... cyber kiss
I love you too @JohanSJA
Doesn't work. No protocol specified (gksu:21503): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
This worked for me.
I would prefer to do: sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/phpmyadmin.conf And then, restart apache2
Tried various different ways.
Finally this, this from ubuntu documentation, worked for me:
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf sudo a2enconf phpmyadmin sudo service apache2 reloadWorked on 15.10.
also worked on 16.04
This should be marked as the correct recommended way to achieve this
This is the correct way.
thanks. finally something that works. this should be the best answer.
Also worked on 18.04. Thanks
This is much better than the accepted answer. Follows proper procedure.
Ubuntu 16.04
After installing and setting up user and password in mysql and phpmyadmin execute following command
sudo apt install php-gettextWorked for me...
Edit1 If you just need apache, phPmyAdmin, and MySql just to a Web Application Environment then I Suggest for exampp wich Install All three for you and then you are Ready to go Here is Link
This worked for me too. php-gettext was missing. I wonder, why none of the documentation mention about this module...
Don't panic ! Just run the following code with root permission in terminal
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/wwwI faced same problem, I fixed it by running
sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmingive new username and password
You need to find where
phpmyadminis located, e.g.locate phpmyadmin, some it will return the location, such as/usr/share/phpmyadmin.Then you can symlink it like this:
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/wwwStarting Ubuntu 14.04 and up,
/var/wwwis no longer work instead/var/www/html. e.g,sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/htmlReference: Where to place my local website starting with the 2.4.7 version of apache2?
If you are planning to host wordpress or another website in apache root i.e. `/var/www/html` then use `sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpmyadmin`. That way you can access phpmyadmin using `http://yourdomain/phpmyadmin`
sudo sed -i '$ a\Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf' /etc/apache2/apache2.conf && sudo service apache2 restart && sudo apt-get install php-gettext`Tested and works. Running that should solve it for anyone who wants a 1 liner.
I tried all the above methods and they didn't work for me. Finally this one worked.
Open terminal and switch to super user using the command:
sudo suAfter installing phpmyadmin using instructions given in the link, open
/etc/apache2/conf-available.You will find a file there named
phpmyadmin.conf. Copy it to/etc/apache2/conf-enabled. Or simply use the commandsudo cp /etc/apache2/conf-available /etc/apache2/conf-enabledRestart apache2 (
sudo service apache2 restart) and then open the link localhost/phpmyadmin in a browser.finally this work for ubuntu 14.04 LTS
sudo ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/phpmyadmin.conf sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpmyadmin sudo service apache2 restartnow type
localhost/phpmyadminin web browser.I was facing the same problem.
Firstly check if the directory called
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/exists. If it does, just move it to/var/www/phpmyadminby executing this command:mv /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadminOpen your browser and open
http://localhost/phpmyadmin. Now it should work.This will break the uninstaller, and will cause installation/upgrade issues. You will need to symlink the directory. `sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin` should correctly symlink.
