phpMyAdmin

[poppet]

Hello,

I am currently setting up a Fedora 11 server and have most things installed and ready to go, but I am stuck on getting phpmyadmin to work.

I have done it before so the config is not a problem for me. I'll try to explain the best I can.

In httpd.conf the default Document root is set to "/var/www/html" but I have VirtualHost's set up.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin myemail
    DocumentRoot /home/username/www/html/mainwebsite
    ServerName website #1
    ServerAlias website#1.com www.website#1.com
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/www/html/mainwebsite/cgi-bin/
    ErrorLog logs/error_log
    CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin myemail
    DocumentRoot /home/username/www/html/subdomain#1
    ServerName subdomain#1
    ServerAlias subdomain#1.website#1.com www.subdomain#1.website#1.com
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/www/html/subdomain#1/cgi-bin/
    ErrorLog logs/error_log
    CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin myemail
    DocumentRoot /home/username/www/html/subdomain#2
    ServerName subdomain#2
    ServerAlias subdomain#2.website#1.com www.subdomain#2.website#1.com
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/www/html/subdomain#2/cgi-bin/
    ErrorLog logs/error_log
    CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost SecondIPaddress:80>
    ServerAdmin myemail
    DocumentRoot /home/username/www/html/mainwebsite
    ServerName website #2
    ServerAlias website#2.com www.website#2.com
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/username/www/html/website#2/cgi-bin/
    ErrorLog logs/error_log
    CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>

So when I put the phpmyadmin folder in /home/user/www/html I would get either a 404 or could not access the server.

I tried changing the virtualHosts to /home/username/www/html/ and it worked then, but then the actual sites didn't work correctly either. I also tried to just put it in /var/www/html, the root diretory and nothing.

If anyone has any idea's or solutions, I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure how this works for Apache, but with Lighttpd, I had to setup an "alias" for the virt-domains.. For example:

$SERVER["socket"] == "67.223.255.255:9925" {

	ssl.engine = "enable"
	ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/virt-host.tld/server.pem"

	$HTTP["host"] =~ "virt-host.tld" {

		$HTTP["remoteip"] !~ "68.95|127.0.0" {
			url.access-deny = ( "" ) 
		}

		var.servername = "virt-host.tld"
		server.document-root = "/var/www/" + servername
		accesslog.filename = "/var/log/httpd/" + servername + "-access.log"

		alias.url = (
			"/phpmyadmin" => "/usr/share/phpmyadmin",
			"/stats/" => "/usr/lib/cgi-bin/"
		)
	}
}

Looks like you have "ScriptAlias" defined, but compared to the lighttpd config, it looks incomplete? How does Apache know where the "/phpMyAdmin" folder is on the disk?

as guy said, in your apache2.conf file there is an alias section and you use it as follows
Alias /phpmyadmin /pathtophpmyadminfolder
and also the security

<Directory /pathtophpmyadminfolder>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
