linux help needed

mctrivia

I have sucesfully installed debian on a PIII 700Mhz machine.
I sucessfully setup ssh so I could use the computer headless.
I have sucessfully mounted a USB hard drive and setup apache2 to use /mnt/sda1/http/ as the default web page folder
I added an index.php with

<?php
  echo 'test' . (1+2) . '
';
?>

and going to http://192.168.0.100/
returns back

test3


as expected.

Now to wear I fail. During the setup of debian it asked if i wanted to set up mySQL database which I said yes. I am now trying to get phpmyAdmin running so I can have an easy editing platform to work on and I can't seem to get it to work.

http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/phpmyadmin.htm says I just have to type in:
#apt-get install phpmyadmin

it downloads a bunch of stuff and says it is installing it but when i do the next step in the instructions go to

http://192.168.0.100/phpmyadmin/

I get a 404 Not Found error.


Anyone have any advice on how to get it up and running?

404 means Apache can't find the php scripts. Did you try "localhost" in place of the ip address? or "127.0.0.1" (assuming you're trying this on the same box) Try putting a simple "hello world" in a test.html file in the same directory and see if you can pull it up.

Also, do you know where phpMyAdmin installed? /var/www/html/ or /usr/local/apache/htdocs? (I'm not a Debianite)

i am not trying from the same machine. the server is headless.

I know 404 means it can't find which means phpmyadmin did not get installed correctly. the web server does work though any html or php files i write will work.

You have used a none 'standard' path for your www root-directory. Installing php-myadmin most likely used Debian's standard location (most likely /var/www). Check if this is the case and if yes, either move you php-myadmin directory to your www root directory or add a <directory> section in your apache config pointing to php-myadmin.

i misunderstood the instructions.

When i got up this morning i downloaded http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files/phpMyAdmin/3.3.3/phpMyAdmin-3.3.3-english.zip/download#!md5!4659ab73216ff015bc740505b15fdcd0

unzipped it then copied it over to my /home/matthew folder (since i have yet figured out how to give myself ftp access to the /mnt/sda1 folder

i then executed

mv /home/matthew/phpmyadmin /mnt/sda1/http/

and vwola it works.
